The kids fell asleep within seconds upon hitting their pillows last night and we weren't far behind. About 11 hours later we were awake. Another rainy cold day. We caught a bus to Notting Hill and spent a few hours at the famous Portabello Road Markets. We sought a break from the weather by gaining sanctuary in a typical English pub where we enjoyed a great lunch.
We needed some extra clothing accessories due to the cold and rain so off to Marble Arch and Oxford Circus to Marx and Sparx (Marks & Spenser's). It's interesting that they have yet to experience temperatures above 7 degrees so if you want a jacket or gloves for kids - sorry they've stopped selling them but if you want a bikini - no problem. The streets are absolutely packed with people and we're yet to understand the umbrella etiquette. With a barrage of people coming at you all armed with prostrated umbrellas its a real knack of weaving through them.
We're just loving it here - London is certainly an amazing city.
