There were individual servings of Marmite at breakfast today. I thought if you all. ;)

J loves Marmite toast. :)

Have a great rest of your trip.

Today we decided to take a slow day, enjoy the weather, and get to know our neighborhood. So we took a walk to Sloan Square, walked down Kings Road, walked down to the Thames, looked for Rossetti's house, took the tube to St. James Park, saw Buckingham palace, walked the park, spent time with the black swans, signets, swan-teens, and Pelicans, went to see Lord Nelson in Tralfalger Square, decided to pick up tickets to a show in Leiscester square, walked to the Thames again, crossed the Hungerford Bridge, took a spin on the London Eye, catch the tube back to Hotel to change, tube back to Picadilly, to see the 39 steps (great show BTW), then pick up some pasties, to eat at the hotel.

Goodness knows what our days will be like should we get ambitious.

i had a feeling those pasties would catch your eye~;)

OH! Go check out Holland Park! It's gorgeous!

(very friendly squirrels, if you give 'em a little sumpin' sumpin')

I'm working on a short photo essay from today but I may die from exhaustion before it gets published.

A few highlights of the day included finding a pair of Black Swans in St. James park that had 4 cygnts! Swan heaven for me. They were all happily munching on bread when some Canadian Geese got a little too close. The male swan took off in turbo mode chasing down the geese and sending them away. Then he returned to his family and they did a little happy dance. It was amazing. I captured the happy dance in video but I'll have to post that later.

The other nice happenstance was getting on the London Eye with absolutely no wait. We saw the sun set over London and the lights starting to come on as we were decending the big wheel. It was lovely.

I'm very glad they serve full English breakfasts here. I will need it daily to keep fortified if we keep having days like this one.

It's supposed to rain a bit tomorrow but, otherwise, the forcast looks really good. If today was any indication, it's going to be really lovely.

YAY! PHOTOS ARE PUBLISHED!

Thanks for the reports and photos! Looks like wonderful weather. :)

Too cool! It's just beautiful there, and I am envious! Scout out locales and maybe a London Swanking might be in the future......

Thanks for the pics, NA!:)

I believe "jacket potatoes" are baked potatoes.

Great photos! :snap:

Love it, LOVe the swans and cygnets.

Sleep well tonight and post more tomorrow! ;)
