Today we headed out to lovely Regent's Park to have a look around and take some pictures of flowers for today's photo assignment. The park had plenty of flowers to choose from so all 18 of us ran around for a while snapping photos of everything in sight.
This rose is totally name after me. Don't I look lovely in my oh-so-flattering poncho?I wanted to get an action shot of some pigeons flying so I kept chasing flocks of them around to get them to all fly away at once. Well, little did I know that there was a crazy English bird lady who feeds them and treats them like pets. She gave me a good talking to for chasing the birds. I think more than a couple of my classmates got pictures of me chasing birds like a two year old but I got a great shot! So there!
As you can tell from the poncho photo we got rained on today. It wasn't so bad. Just quick little showers that moved through really quickly.
Next, we moved on to Primrose Hill to have a picnic lunch and fly some kites a la Mary Poppins. The view from the top of the hill was nice. We could see St. Paul's dome, the London Eye, and the Gherkin building all rising high above the rest of the skyline. Kite flying turned out to be really fun. I had a baby kite -- only about 4 inches across -- but it flew like a charm. Here's a picture of Lil having a go. Well done, Miss!
Next, we stopped off at Abbey Road in front of Abbey Road Studios and had some fun reenacting the famous Beatles cover. Here are my flatmates and I -- we are definitely the new fab four.
I spent the entire afternoon working on my Podcast and hiding from the rain. Make sure to give it a listen. Then tonight we went to see a theater production of Billy Elliot. Another busy day.
Time for bed. Visiting Hampton Court tomorrow!
