Lovely Day for Sitting in the Park


Suzie and I wound up our day by lounging in St. James's Park and enjoying a cone of ice cream. The weather all week has been sensational, and it was capped off by the postcard-perfect afternoon we had in the park. After a long day of walking, including picking up Suzie's umbrella and my mid-afternoon hangover, the candy-striped deck chairs were a welcome sight. We stayed long enough to soak it all in (or at least until the attendant came and asked us to pay the £1.50 each for the use of the chairs).

We headed home, with a final stop at Suzie's favorite grocery, Waitrose. There, I stocked up on Colman's mustard, crumpets and HP sauce. I didn't go too crazy on the sundries--no need to, since after all, we will be making many many more trips to London together in the future.
