It has been hidden for a long long winter and finally it has decided to come out, heat up the temperature and allow Londoners to enjoy a weekend full of picnics and basking in the rays.
It is actually incredibly amazing how much the sun in London makes a difference - in a matter of minutes the parks are packed full of people trying to get the best of the good weather. I was no different! My whole entire weekend was spent outdoors exploring the city and hanging out with friends.
First stop was the Borough markets my favourite fresh food market followed by a wander along the Thames from London Bridge to Waterloo taking in the weather and atmosphere. After grabbing a ice slushie and basking in the sun we made a snap decision to tube up to Hampstead Heath to meet up with Emily and have a wander. We passed the lidos and some of the other fellow sun revellers and found a nice grassy patch to lay down and chill out while we people watched and chatted.
If that wasn't enough sun drenching for us the next day we decided to hit Hyde Park but this time armed with food and booze for a looonng afternoon of lazing around, listening to music, eating yummy food and drinking ciders in the sun. Our crew of 5 soon turned into a group of about 14 of us as word spread and we met in the city centre. We weren't the only ones of course the park was packed so it provided a perfect place to people watch. In my case it was perfect place to puppy watch and I spent lots of the afternoon gushing over lots of the gorgeous dogs that people walked through the park. I miss having a dog so much and I very nearly stole the cutest sausage dog!
It was the perfect weekend and one where London really came alive. I just hope that the weather stays that good for awhile but knowing London - its sure to fade. Even more reason to make the most of it when it does come out!
