Park Life

How lovely has the weather been!! Hope you have all been enjoying it as much as you can. So inspired by this beautiful weather that's hopefully here for a while, I thought to put some shots on here of St James park and the Italian Gardens :).

The Italian Gardens is a 150-year-old ornamental water garden located on the north side of Kensington Gardens near Lancaster Gate. It is believed to have been created as a gift from Prince Albert to his beloved Queen Victoria... Bit of History there for you ;) lol.

St James park is lovely to walk through or just go soak up the sunshine :) the flower beds always look so pretty and you always get to see plenty of ducks ect. Also its next to Buckingham Palace, Horse Guard Parade and The Mall.

Throw Back

Its not that far away... Again :-/

I know this is probably the last thing you want to be looking at or even thinking about but we all know how quick it comes around :-P

I've already head people saying they have been buying things already, so i thought i'd do a throw back on my winter wonderland day in London.

Started off at the South Bank, it was so lovely and such a nice atmosphere!! They had all the German market there, it was pretty expensive but you wouldn't expect anything else in London but i think its worth going to even if you just want to have a mooch about :-)

We then walked down to Hyde Park that's where the Winter Wonderland is, I was really looking forward to going as it was something I've wanted to do the last few Christmases. When we got there it was rammed!! We linked onto each other so nobody got lost lol. The rides averaged from five pounds up. We had tickets for the magical ice kingdom which was amazing!! We didn't stay that long i wasn't enjoying getting pushed and shoved by other people. I recommend if you do decide to go, make sure you go early in the day or go when the kids are in school because its less busy then and pre book what you can.

The last place we went was oxford street, it looked amazing :-) and Selfridges did not fail to impress me with their window displays. The theme was marmite all the way down there where marmite lights and one had images of people that had posted them in. Nearly all the shops had lights and it just looked so magical!! We got there pretty late so there wasn't many people about so made it even more nice to walk around and take in the prettiness of the lights :-)

Jurassic Park

Took a trip to the Natural History Museum. The museum is home to life and earth science specimens comprising some 70 million items within five main collections. 
It was really interesting, young children and big kids will love it!! And another good thing is its absolutely free :). You could spend the day in there walking around. 
My favorite part was the dinosaurs exhibition and the stuff in the pickled jars was really interesting to look at!. I really got taken in by the building itself it was beautiful to look.
 I didn't want to post to many shots on here because i think it would take the fun out going to have a look for your self.  

Proud

Throw Back to TEAM GB

Can you believe its been nearly a year since the London Olympics!!. A year where most people became very proud of their country and really supported Team GB every step of the way. It made you proud to be British!

I was lucky enough to see the women's swimming event in Hyde park and it was by accident because me and my friend was meant to be going to Camden. The atmosphere was electric and so many people turnt up to watch old and young from lots of different places and country's.

I didn't have my camera on me the days i got these shots their taken from my phone camera. I also done some editing to them this time because the quality wasn't as good from my phone camera The picture of the queen along the south bank was from the jubilee it was so lovely to see :) and the cake was from a party we had at home.



So what have you done to make you feel proud.....
