Spa Break in Somerset

Really nice 2 nights break from all the stress at Bannatyne's Charlton House resort and spa in the village if Shepton Mallet . 150 miles from London . Very nice Jacuzzi pool with a connecting small pool which is open and you can see the stars while swimming. The pool is really warm so you don't feel cold but fabulous. Also has an outside Whirlpool .. Excellent Spa .. Treatments are at average £ 50 which is not bad at all !

Spitafields Market and Brick Lane

Spent the day today in and around Spitafields market and Brick Lane. I found the market to be a larger version of Greenwich market. Found these really nice earrings being sold by a Chinese girl for £18. Like the design concept, one can make the earrings shorter or longer depending on the dress they are worn with and the mood !! Just behind / adjacent to Spitafields market are some shops and I discovered the "traffic people " shop !
We parked in parking on commercial street and walked to the market .
The end of the brick lane towards the brewery has a vintage market in the tea rooms .. Lovely stuff. Good road side food as well though we ate at a Pakistani kebab shop and then picked up chicken biriyani and "mishti dhoi" from Ambala !! For dinner.

Recommended day out in London !
