A few hours spent perusing the Natural History Museum in South Kensington (an area that is swiftly becoming one of my favorites so far) observing dinosaur skeletons and preserved insect specimens. No hurry at all as this museum is FREE and I can come back anytime! What luxury...
Then an absolutely heavenly pain au chocolat and coffee from a cute little bakery called Gail's near the tube station. Walked to nearby Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens to enjoy what feels like the first summery day I have ever experienced, that's how joyful it was making me. Am soon visited by the most adorable border terrier who is hoping to share in my croissant and later in the afternoon see a greyhound streaking across the park. Readers may know that Maxwell, my family's first dog, was a border terrier and that the current hound residing at 1642 is indeed a greyhound (though not grey in colour) called Harley.
Coincidence? I think not.
Blissful afternoon? You bet your hat, sir.
Tell me a good croissant isn't one of life's greatest pleasures. Go on, I dare you.
Amanda! I'm enjoying reading about your adventures and hope you keep posting. We miss you at Rosie's (at least I do!) It sounds like you're having a great time though.
