What a fun time last weekend! My good friend from grad school had a birthday which was a great excuse to go into the city. We went to Kensington gardens (despite overcast skies) and had a lovely walk in the park.
We just happened on some people who were feeding the birds by the wayside and decided to give it a try ourselves.....
Chris took some video, hopefully this will play on your computers:
There was also this crazy goose that Molly and I bravely and nonchalantly (so it wouldn't know what we were doing) snuck up on and sat next too. I'm perched at the very edge of the pond in case it decides to attack!
We also had a little picnic on the lawn and visited a shop with a GIANT rubber ducky. that drew Chris into the shop like a moth to a flame.
Afterwords we walked down Kensington High Street past a group of Palestinian protesters (gotta love London, always something going on) and headed to 222 Veggie Vegan, a most delicious vegan restaurant. We each ordered something different and had a good time passing bites around. We also all splurged on dessert (Hey, it was Molly's birthday, she couldn't celebrate alone!) and treated ourselves to a bottle of wine. Sigh. Just the memory makes me feel all warm and happy inside. What fun and inspirational people, the kind of friends that you just think, wow, I learn so much from them. Hopefully we can return the visit this summer and do a little punt boating on the river Cam.
More fun and games this weekend, but you'll have to wait till tomorrow to read it.
