I,m back, its cold but at least for today we have sunshine. I left Cambridge early this morning in really thick fog, made walking to the train station very eerie, like an old murder movie where the killer comes out of the fog...glad i didn't think of that while i was walking in it. When i got to Kings Cross i had to either get a train to Paddington via the Underground or get a taxi, i decided to be brave and go by train in rush hour. Riley and Mia would be so proud i hope that i managed to get to Paddington without getting on the wrong train or falling between THE GAP. I walked the 15min walk to the hotel from the train and i have to say my back was killing me, i cant lighten these bags anymore, I've already left a trail of unused clothes across the country.
I couldn't check in till 2pm so after dropping my bag off i walked across the road and entered Hyde Park. The little guy above is showing you how cold it was.

I just love Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens it is my favourite part of London and i could wander around here all day.
This area is called the Round Pond and half of it is frozen, snow is predicted.
Kensington Palace, not much to look at on the outside but stunning inside.
I walked past a sign that said the Palace was open so i spent the next hour exploring the beautiful rooms that Queen Victoria grew up in.

I left the park on dark and walked across the road, just down from my hotel, to Notting Hill where i had dinner in a little Italian restaurant. I cant believe that it's almost time to go home. This time next week i will be back at work. Yes Anna i am going to enjoy and soak up as much as i can in these last few days. In an ideal world you mob and my children and Diva of course would fly over here and we would just spend the rest of our lives going from one country to the next.......suppose we will just have to content ourselves with swapping photos and stories and my hours of videos ! Ciao from my lovely London.
