London: Polished for Guests

London in summer. It’s radiant green. Birds are chirping. Primrose Hill is chock a block. Flowers are cascading. And Pimms cups are overflowing. It’s the best place to be on a sunny day.
Though much of our summer has been a bit wet and dreary, the last couple weeks have been heaven. So, W and I have been venturing out on our days together to make the most of the loveliness. And this year, given the Olympics, there’s more going on than ever before.
There’s a giant sandy ‘Beach’ atop the Roundhouse in Camden. An underground cork lounge by the Serpentine Gallery (perfect for ensuring little W bounces back up again when he falls ☺). Kensington Palace has been polished and reopened. Olympic rings adorn many bridges and photo opps across the city (in front of St Pauls along the Thames, the bridge along the Serpentine, Tower Bridge, etc). And perfectly manicured lawns await in the city’s parks just begging for picnics galore.
It’s a lovely time to be in London.
