LONDON 17th January 2013

I started walking at 8.30am today, may sound late but sunrise is 8am. I grabbed a takeaway cup of tea and a croissant and entered the park, it was lovely all covered in fog and ice, took about 100 photos.

On my way across the park towards Knightsbridge i stopped to visit the swans again, they are so photogenic..took another 100 or so photos.

It amazes me how the birds can stand on the ice or swim in that frozen pond, i take my gloves off and i start shivering. Took another 100 photos.

On my way out of the park the squirrels came up for food but i had none, if you put your hand out they come right up to you...another 100 photos

Once in Knightsbridge i spent some time in the V&A Museum { Victoria and Albert Museum }. Very interesting. Displays ranged from fashion to photos, Sculpture.. you could spend all day in there.Then i went across the road to the Natural History Museum, this is the entrance, i spent a fair bit of time here. Lunch was spent in Harrods food hall, its a good thing my bag is full otherwise i would have spent too much money here.

When i emerged from Harrods the sky was getting very cloudy and the temp had gone from 0 to -2, apparently now its around -4 and snow is supposed to fall over night and tomorrow, and it will because tomorrow is my last day. I walked back across the park to Bayswater which took awhile, my little legs were getting tired. It was a great day and i don't want tomorrow to come. In the morning i will leave my luggage at Paddington then spend the day exploring the Regents Park area which i haven't been to yet and then around 5 i will catch the Heathrow Express to the airport. I'm booked into a hotel near the airport because my flight leaves in the morning on Saturday. Suzanne have a great time in Perth and i will catch up with you when you get back. Tell Chris Rosie can stay with me for as long as, no problem. Anna ? i don't know about you but i don't want to leave....why don't i catch the train to Germany and you play tour guide and we pretend that we don't need to go back to work ? ok i will see you in Singapore. Riley and Mia ? see you soon darlings.

A sad Ciao from London.
