Walking the Victoria Line

We went walking with my friend Tania. Taking photographs of London helped me to settle here. In the end it became an exhibition to the E17 Art Trail and I made it into a blog. Go and have a look at Walking the Victoria Line

my birthday

It is my birthday today. 

I asked my husband to take a picture of me in bed just woken. 

Have I changed from my profile picture taken 7 or 8 years ago?

 

For my birthday we went to see the America after the Fall exhibition at the RA.

Here I am as a farmers wife after Grant Wood´s American Gothic.

I am celebrating my birthday with these flower.

My friends are still sledging in Finland, but spring is here in London.
Welcome spring, I have been waiting for you!

Angels on Regent Street

just the two of us on Sunday

It is just the two of us this week.

 

We went  to listen to A Christmas Carol 

by Charles Dickens at Vestry House here in the borough.  

 

 My son joined in a snowball fight at the mall.

 We played at our friends play street.

 

He made a stick elf.

Kew Garden in the Fall

 Kew Garden is beautiful in the Fall. 

I went there with my husband, mother-in-law and my son. 

 

The shades of red and yellow colour are amazing. 

We were lucky with weather. It was sunny and dry.

 

We had bought Kew Kids leaflet the previous time we visited Kew Garden. 

We just took it with us and it was still good and interesting.

 My son enjoyed reading the Tree Top Walks information bords. 

There are so many different trees in this living tree library.

 

We took the little train. 

Kew Garden is too big for walking. 

A wonderful thing in growded London is,

 that everywhere in Kew Garden there was space and not too many people. 

The inside spaces were remarkable.
By that time we also started to be little cold. It was lovely to come in a warm greenhouse.

my guilty pleasure

 

I have been waiting for this the whole year.

I sit in my garden warmed by the sun.

I have washed the duvets.

I am reading light and having tea.

 The bliss of domesticity!

sunny legomania

Legoland was too tempting to miss.

We enjoyed the miniland and the sunshine.

My son liked the rides that made us wet.
