We had another bank holiday weekend this past weekend. That makes three in May alone. It's awesome. Sadly, the next one isn't until August :(
Because we are going to Italy this weekend, we didn't do too much over the Bank Holiday, plus the weather was pretty awful. London has the most interchangeable weather I have ever seen, like eight seasons in one day. So all four seasons twice!
All 3 days couldn't decide whether they were going to be warm, freezing, rainy or windy! And sometimes they were all at once.
We were hoping to sleep in on Saturday, but the people next door are renovating, and started banging around 8.00 a.m. And then they just stopped at 9.30 a.m., just long enough so we couldn't go back to sleep! Thankfully we had lovely long lie-in's on Sunday and Monday.
We mostly just did some errands and caught up on some TV we were behind on. We had some yummy breakfast on Saturday at Balan's down the road, I had the huge omelette below, and Bradley had french toast, which we've posted before, so I didn't think we needed another photo!
On Monday it was sunny long enough to venture out and we went for a walk through Holland Park. Holland Park is just down from Notting Hill and is surrounded by huge mansions, like 4 times the size of our house in Chiswick. Chiswick is a pretty flash area, but it's nothing compared to the houses in Notting Hill and Holland Park.
There is a lovely Japanese Garden in the middle, it's probably the nicest part about the park. The rest of it isn't great, certainly not anywhere near as nice as other London parks, like Hyde Park, Regents Park & St James Park. All very pretty.
Never get tired of squirrels!
We had lunch at Le Pain Quotidien in Westfield. We went last weekend and had amazing scrambled eggs. Am happy to say the prosciutto open sandwiches were delicious too.
Food looks amazing as usual
