Since I planned so many trips outside of UK, I forget that there are many places in London that I haven't seen. I'm committed to see one new place every weekend, whether a museum, a play, a park, a walk, a market anything. Last week I went to Natural History Museum after church. This weekend I went to Hampstead Heath, North of London. You can go up to the Parliament Hill and get the view of the City of London.
I went with Amelia, a Kiwi that I met from church.
You can swim in this pond in the summer, but it's kinda dirty.
So picturesque... Looks like an English country side but it's actually still in London.
Unfortunately it was foggy. Couldn't really see the city.
I'm not sure what the white buildings in the background are. But I just loved the sight. Green pasture.
Then on Sunday, I hit East with Jessica to Columbia Road Flower Market. Karen talked about it when I was still in Atlanta. Since then, it was in my-to-do list. They are very reasonably priced. We got there around 10.30AM. It was over crowded. It's cute to hear people shouting what they're selling in East London accent.
Tulips... My favorite!!! We walked down until the end of the street and made some purchases.
I bought tulips and hyacinth, which smells really nice. They should last over 10 days. 7 pounds for the whole thing.
Jessica picked roses.
My first purchase! Flowers just make me happy.
We then went to Brick Lane market and had a really good Indian food at House of Spices. I had chicken bhatia and naan. Perfect way to end the afternoon.
