The search is over

Sunday turned out to be nice and relaxing. We woke up and walked into town to put money onto the card for electricity. We found a place pretty quickly, grabbed some breakfast at a little cafe while we were down there, and came back. Once we put the card into the breaker, everything started working again. We then decided that we wanted a relaxing day, and decided to have a picnic in Kensington Gardens. We took a few things from the flat and decided we would get the rest at the new Whole Foods that is right outside of the park.

We wandered around Whole Foods for awhile. This took longer than we thought since it was quite large. However, while we were there, SUCCESS! We had finally found it. Ever since we went to New Zealand In Dec 2005, we had been searching for one of the wines that we really really enjoyed, but hadn't been able to find it. The winery was called Mud House, and their Pinot Noir was excellent. However, we had finally found it. We bought a couple of bottles and plan to drink it Monday evening to see if it's still good :)



After that, we grabbed a few more things and headed over to Kensington Gardens where we had a nice picnic, played cards and did some people watching. The weather was excellent, mid 0's and sunny and we had a great day. About 3:30, we decided to head over to the Orangery and have a proper afternoon tea, which we enjoyed very much as well.

The Park






Some pics of the Gardens... much prettier in the summer than they were when we saw them in Feb.

Since we were stuffed, we decided to head back home. After we got off the tube station, we decided to walk around instead since we saw a bunch of people. We followed the crowds and saw that they were having a large outdoor market going on there (which apparently they have every weekend.) We walked around for awhile and had a good time looking around. However, we were ready to get home, so we didn't stay too long. We plan to go back another weekend when we can spend some more time.
