Here we are in Camden Town.
Django enjoyed a private concert with his uncle in the back garden.
The guys took Django out one day on a fun-filled adventure beginning at the local Fire Station open house.
At the Science Museum, another great (and free) museum in the South Kensington area of London.
This is a really wonderful interactive area for the kids at the Science Museum. It's called the Garden. Django had a fantastic time!
We got out for a picnic at Hampstead Heath with Jonathan, a journalist who Simon had become friends with (Jonathan was the journalist who accompanied Simon to Greenland in June, and subsequently wrote 3 articles on him, including one that was part of a two-page spread in Rolling Stone Germany September issue)
The day was absolutely magical and as perfect as one could hope for.
Nice light.
I was sorely missing the Pacific Northwest berry season while in London. Blackberries grow like weeds in our town. There are also local pick-your-own farms where you can pick organic blueberries, raspberries.. Last year I picked 13 pounds of blueberries in one trip (we didn't weigh the ones that ended up in our tummies, Django included. Add another pound or two...?). I desperately wanted to go berry picking and called about 15 pick-your-own farms within 50 miles of London. Not one was organic. A couple spray minimally, and one doesn't spray their blueberries. Well, a day trip with friends was planned, but someone got sick and we didn't go. Pictured below is about 1/3 of my entire berry yield for the year at Hampstead Heath. Oh, they're just not as good as the berries at home (boohoo). Well, I've since heard that the berry season was not all that great back home, and the blackberries didn't really ripen very well. Perhaps someone was just trying to make me feel better.
Next year I'm planning my summer around being in Washington in August!
Monkey Mama!
