Land of Hope and Glory

Below are some pics of a few things we've enjoyed before the warm weather leaves us... we took in the annual proms in the park, which is a celebration in hyde park of the last night of the 'proms' a classical musical festival with a bit of a twist.  Lots of pomp and circumstance and after some amazing classical music and opera, some true brittania songs such as 'Land of Hope and Glory' are proudly belted out.   Some of the musicians are in the royal albert hall, others are on stage in the parks around the country all joining together.  The atmosphere is really lively, and many people have spent the afternoon there, enjoying food and wine so maybe some are having more fun than others by the time the music starts:)  I have a video but appears to be too long to post...maybe I'll try again later.

Love this guy, so proud!

Pimms at the bar....yummm!

And on another warm day a few weeks ago, we took a different mode of transportation to the zoo...a waterbus along the canal.  It took about 1/2 hour and we were dropped off inside the zoo at a secret entrance:)

Grannie Annie arrives on Sunday and we are going to take a little trip to Devon, so there will be more fun posts coming up....
