Holiday trip – Tuesday: Turkish food and a football match
After a very lazy late morning/early afternoon, we headed to Stoke Newington to find a Turkish restaurant. We found Bodrum, a really charming and homey little place. The food was superb and cheap, and the hummus they place on the table when you arrive will definitely have you wishing for more. I know that the area boasts many excellent Turkish restaurants, but doubt that too many can beat this for a combination of friendly service, charming atmosphere, great food and great prices.
From there, it was off to White Hart Lane, home of the mighty Tottenham Hotspur (okay, not so mighty, but I’m a fan!). It was Jan’s first ever match and they did us proud with a great first half display. We sat – actually stood, as nobody on front of us sat for a minute of the match – very close to the visiting supporters, and Jan really enjoyed the banter between the sets of supporters. I had warned her of what to expect when Spurs scored, but hadn’t expected her to see the unbridled joy 3 times in the opening 25 minutes…. or even 3 times in 90 minutes!
We met my brother-in-law, Roger, and nephew Nathan after the match and had a reasonably early night in advance of our train ride to Paris the following day.
