Playing a bit of catchup with the blog but things have been really busy for the past few weeks... sorry!! How is everyone? Happy and well I trust... I hear NZ is having some sweeeet snow!
We have been making the most of all the time we have, and last weekend was jam-packed, yet was totally perfect! we are finding there is so much to London and friends tell us all the time of things to checkout and we are never at a loss of stuff to do.
Last Saturday we got up early went for bigs runs, then took off too the Speights pub to watch the AB's game with every other kiwi in London... bumped into a few familiar faces, had a few pints and a pie's and watched the AB's dominate the South Africans. I could of easily stayed in the cosy pub, but we had made plans to checkout Greenwhich, so off we went for the afternoon and we werent disappointed!! Greenwhich was incredible. Had a really laid back feel, and was super cute! we went to the markets, and they had the delicious food for sale, cupcakes, chocolates, and all things scrumptious... we then took off to the Meridian Line, and took a few corny photos... and spent the afternoon laughing. After dinner at a cheap and nasty noodle house, we sussed out an underground Jazz bar that were having an emerging talent night, and watched some amazing live acts. Caught one of the last tubes back home, Huge day, slept well.
Sunday we got up and early again and had borrowed bikes from a friend Tom, and took the cycle path to Richmond. Took about an hour and a half on the bikes from Hammersmith, but was a beautiful sunny Sunday in London and was great to get out and about... Richmond has the same sort of feel as Greenwhich, very laid back, and they had a world music festival on the river so to chill and listen to the music was lovely. We had a picnic in the Richmond park, then headed home. A friend from NZ was coming over for dinner so got home, and too our absolute surprise the girls (Nats, Kath, Mon and Anna) were back from their European holiday. So it was a late night catching up with everyone and great to have them home... what an awesome weekend. xxx
