Remember that catchy little...

Remember that catchy little song from way back in 1996, I Love You Always Forever, by Donna Lewis? In London I stayed with a family, who were friends of my landlord/housemate John's parents... umm anyway. The house was really lovely, only a few minutes away from the center of London. I had my own private room and bathroom downstairs. Every evening I ate delicious homecooked meals and was shown around by my host parents. Well one night, they mentioned to me as her song came on the radio 'She is our niece, whenever she visits she stays in your room.' Then they got out some family pics etc. Hey! I slept in the same bed as (OK, she was a one-hit-wonder, but still....) Donna Lewis! ;)

Both myself and Az had the pleasure of meeting Minai and her friends. After meeting up in Leicester Square we then decided to go and see a West end Show.
And what better choice than to see Spamalot at the Palace theatre....!

Adjoined to Hyde Park, these pleasing gardens which comprise 111 hectareas were made fully available to the public by Queen Victoria in 1841.
At the entrance of each gate, you'll find a map of Kensington Park. The map shows you where you are and which direction you should go.-
Lindando con el Hyde Park, este bellísimo jardín, que comprende 111 hectareas, fue totalmente abierto al público por la Reina Victoria en el año 1841.
A la entrada de cada puerta se van a encontrar con un mapa del parque. Los mapas muestran donde están en ese momento y cuál es la dirección a tomar para ir donde quieran
Pigeons
by ginte
Trafalgar Square is famous not only as touristic spot, but it's also famous for its pigeons. The local authorities try to discourage people from feeding them as all the local buildings are covered with their droppings. I've read somewhere that Nelson’s Column itself has a staggering 1ton of droppings removed from it each year! :) But pigeons are still very popular among tourists :-) ALthought I can't say that I've seen so many of them if compare with Krakow's Main Market Square in Poland. If you are ever there, you'll think that most of the pigeons have moved there from London :D
