"We are currently experiencing extreme delays on the Northern Line due to a fault with the signalling system. Passengers are advised to make alternate arrangements..."
Ok - well there goes our plans for a picnic on Hampstead Heath and and a quiet amble through Camden Market. But not to worry - we formulated an alternate plan and made for Kensington and Knightsbridge where we went to Harrod's (not just for the tacky Di and Dodi memorial), the Natural History Museum (didn't spend a lot of time, but mainly went to check out the unique architecture ...little animals all built into the building facade), and the parks (Hyde and Kensington). Robbie had an emergency conker in her pocket which we deployed to get close up to a curious little squirrel. Tahne thought she was getting attacked by a Swan, but he was just rearing up to shoo away a large off-leash dalmation.
We had a great time in the parks, and then headed to Kensington High Street for Wagamama noodles (yummo) and to go shopping for a gift for Ant's friend Kate who was having a birthday party that night. We all went out to dinner for her birthday at this cool little Ethiopian restaurant near Kings Cross - it was totally amazing. We sat with the other vego couple and had a bunch of vego dishes that come out in little bowls and get dumped into a giant table sized crepe-style bread, then you use your fingers and other bits of crepe-bread to eat the food. Lovely spices, but not too hot - really, really amazing food (we will have to seek this out in the future).
