London Town

Gosh it’s been a busy old time on the bathtime blog. Yet more adventures to update you with. This weekend we were back in good old London Town, this time to visit my Uncle Jonathan and my Auntie Sylvie who live in Stoke Newington. It was the first time that we have been to their house which they moved into 6 months ago. Apparently my uncle has lived in more houses over the years than anyone cares to remember, but Daddy assures me that this house ranks with the best. Here are a few pictures of us enjoying our time together.

Ah, love is in the air

On Saturday we went to the park via a walk around an old cemetary (nice) which was really strange. It was really overgrown and all the grave stones were on top of each other. This was a particularly close family.  The cemetary’s most famous resident is William Booth, the founder of The Salvation Army (who I think would quite literally turn in his grave if he knew what other activities went on here – I won’t say more).

In the late afternoon we caught a bus to Sutton House in Hackney to hear a choir sing lots of lovely Elizabethan music. After the second song I asked mummy, in a rather loud voice, if it was time to go home yet, at which point I was quickly ejected from the room for some strange reason.

On Sunday we had a lazy morning eating brunch on the verandah

Later we caught a bus to London Bridge. Along the Embankment there were lots of people performing all kinds of stange things. I particularly liked the guitarist who though great, disappointingly chose not to sing ‘I guess that’s why they call it the blues’.

… and I was frightened by the salamander who jumped out of his box everytime someone put some money into his can.

London was looking great on this baking hot day. Here are a few more pictures that Daddy took.
