Today would have been a day that my mom would have really enjoyed (except for maybe the rain.) We walked around (literally) Regent's Park specifically to stop and smell (I mean photograph) the roses. The gardens were beautiful, and although I didn't see any daffodils, there were thousands of flowers to look at. It was just as pretty as when we were here that March. Next, we walked up to Primrose Hill to picnic and fly kites like in Mary Poppins. I thought I had lost my kite's cross sticks, but they reappeared - but did not help my kite stay air born. Oh well, I took a turn with Nate's and enjoyed watching the others flying theirs.
Last stop was the Abbey Road crosswalk made famous by the Beatles album cover. We must have driven the locals crazy walking back and forth across it to take pictures, but it was all in good fun. Tonight we are all going to see the play Billy Elliott.
I knew I was "missing something" today! That feeling nagged me all morning, so I'm glad to have it solved. A walk in the park, even in the rain; following in Mary Poppins' footsteps - and the Beatles! Then the fancy dance steps of Billy Elliott - what a grand day! I'm so happy you got to do that and thought of me. I love the flower pictures - that may be Emma's best, so far.
