Day 10
Pubs with Mom, then more cats.
July 23 in England ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F
On Mom's last night, we went to The Packhorse and Talbot, which has great cocktails and a pub menu we all love. Afterwards, we moved on to The George IV for more pub fun!

The next morning, we said our goodbyes and Mom flew home by way of Boston, Lebanon, NH, then Vermont. It was no fun to see her leave after ten amazing days!

Later that afternoon, the four of us took the tube to the east side of London. We strolled through Spitalfields market and along Shoreditch's famed Brick Lane before the big event: an evening of vegan wine and cheese tasting at Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium! This was my birthday gift from Anna and it was everything we love bundled into one event: 🐈, 🧀, and 🍷!!!Read more
Traveler Wine and cheese and cats all together - so perfect! What a great time!!

Day 5
Catching up
July 18 in England ⋅ ⛅ 81 °F
A few days ago, the temps were in the high 80s so we stayed around the house and read and I worked on flight arrangements for the girls. Nothing too exciting to report there! The next day, Mom and I continued our adventures with a top-of-the-bus ride into Central London, which included stops at Hamley's Toy Store, Liberty Department Store, and meandering the Carnaby Street and Soho neighborhoods. We had an amazing lunch at the very popular vegan restaurant, Mildred's!

On Sunday, we went to the Chiswick Cheese Market, then St Paul's Cathedral for the 3:00 Evensong service. We took the bus back via Trafalgar Square, Westminster, Hyde Park, and Notting Hill, and closed the day with ciders at the The Tabard Inn. 😀

Monday, Anna and Charlotte arrived! Yay!!!!!!Read more
Traveler Love this update and so love seeing your mom enjoy her time in London! So glad the girls arrived safely. Enjoy the remaining days!

Day 42
Spuren alter Zeiten in London 🇬🇧
August 29, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Weckerklingeln um 3:45 Uhr und Frühstück aus der Papiertüte im 4:15 vor dem Hotel. Euphorisch am Flughafen angekommen, wurde auch dieser neue Flug gestrichen und umgebucht auf Mittwoch. Nach mehreren Versuchen, trotzdem am heutigen Dienstag zu fliegen, haben wir uns unserem Schicksal gefügt und sind Richtung London City gefahren (Kontakt mit British Airways ist ausschließlich über App bzw Homepage möglich. Diese werden derzeit so sehr in Anspruch genommen, dass sie erst gar nicht mehr funktionieren 😫und zusammenbrechen).
Auf Spuren unserer ersten Auszeit 2014 fuhren wir nach Chiswick (…beste Grüße an unseren 3jährigen Hund Chiswick 🧀), besuchten unser altes Wohnhaus, spazierten an der Themse, besuchten Kews Garden, testeten neue Pubs und kauften benötigte Wechselwäsche (Gepäck ist ja ordnungsgemäß von uns aufgegeben und befindet sich in Heathrow, die andere Hälfte der Sommersachen wird hoffentlich gut auf Vanvouver Island benutzt 😤).
Wir möchten noch keine wirkliche Prognose für unsere Rückkehr geben, es ist wohl derzeit alles möglich.
Auf jeden Fall konnten wir nach dem ersten Schock den ungeplanten Tag in London sehr genießen und sind für Mittwoch bereits eingecheckt, will aber nichts heißen, waren wir heute früh auch schonRead more

Day 1
Happy to be back!
July 14 in England ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
Phoebe and Hazel have called us back to Chiswick, and this time we brought Mom Carol with us for a week! We left Boston at 10 pm, enjoyed a smooth flight on Virgin Atlantic, and landed in Heathrow Sunday morning. Forgot how much walking it takes just to get out of there! So happy to see the animals again. We napped, strolled around Chiswick Gardens, got takeaway Indian food, watched the Euros finals, and then collapsed!Read more

Day 7
London
June 10 in England ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Today we visited St Paul's Cathedral (where Princess Diana got married) and walked up those same steps she did. A magnificent building built in 1675. We then had a browse around Harrods, just amazing, you can basically buy anything you want from all over the world, (including NZ) and as you can see Lyndon found a nice pillow, and it was on special for 279GBP (about NZ$580) The experience of wandering around the streets of London is surreal and as for the Underground, thats a whole new level (Not Lyndons fave place, let's just say... Crocodile Dundee in New York, and we'll leave it at that)Read more
Traveler Looks amazing! Love London 😍

Day 8
Chiswick
May 27, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Saturday morning, I took care of dirty business--my laundry. While it was having a whirl, I had coffee at a nearby cafe and found myself in the midst of a promotional video shoot for a sports team that was playing later that day in the local champions league.

Cafes had already become a bit of a habit, but I did try to take snacks and drinks from the supermarket with me later in the day so I'd stay away from them!Read more

Day 5
Whiskers and Cream and more!
July 18 in England ⋅ ⛅ 81 °F
What's a trip to London without afternoon tea at a delightful cat cafe? It was so much fun! The pictures say it all. From there, we took the overground to Richmond, the enchanting borough where the Ted Lasso series takes place. We walked around Richmond Green, had Pimms and cheese and onion crisps at the famous Prince's Head, shopped, wandered, then had some yummy sourdough pizza at Franco Manca. Once back, I introduced Mom to Ted Lasso and we binge watched three episodes!Read more
Traveler How fun! Ted Lasso is the best!

Day 4
Exploring Chiswick
July 17 in England ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F
We spent the day meandering around Chiswick, starting with a walk around the Gardens, then found a charming neighborhood spot for lunch. After that, we walked to the Thames and strolled along the river path before making our way back, by way of a local pub adorned with spectacular flowers! Mom clocked about 5 miles of walking today - quite impressive for an old lady! 😄Read more

Day 3
Greenwich Market and Thames ride
July 16 in England ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
After multiple modes of public transportation, Mom and I arrived at Greenwich Market in time to browse the art stalls before trying out new foods from the lunch stalls there. She had a Turkish crepe-style offering, and I tried a veggie dog.

We strolled by the impressive Cutty Sark ship, then boarded a boat that took us on a one hour ride along the Thames, docking at Westminster. Once back in Chiswick, we grocery shopped then took in the Happy Hour special at The Crown and Anchor pub. To wrap up our adventures, we got caught in pouring rain on our way home! Another delightful day!Read more
Traveler Ambitious to go all the way to Greenwich!

Off to see Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and House of Parliament, Downing St, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and Henry VIII's Hampton Court palace.
