Yesterday, I learned that our “5th anniversary bonsai tree” Olie is ALIVE! For months, he’s been living dormant on the balcony and I feared the worst…the guy at the bonsai store said he’d be fine, but he’s really tiny and it was quite cold outside. I visited him on the balcony yesterday and not only is moss growing on the soil (something I’ve been hoping for since Day 1), but he has bright green buds all over… and, continuing the theme, today, we saw Madame Butterfly at the Royal Albert Hall (across from Kensington Gardens, photo at right) and ended the day with Sushi and a bit of comedy in Hampstead…a fun and eventful day was shared by all 🙂
Fair warning to brace yourselves…our loyal readers will be ecstatic to hear that we’ll have something fun and exciting to write about next week! We’re hopping a Ryanair flight to Madrid early next Friday and will also visit Toledo during our visit…stay tuned for photos and updates. We’ll leave Friday and return late Sunday.
