An afternoon in the park


Some of my family has recently been over to London.
On a Sunday afternoon, after a good old lunch, bearing in mind the sun, the kids, the family time all out together and the sightseeing, we took them to Kensington Gardens.

The Diana Memorial Playground was what I really had in mind to exhaust those kids a bit, yet I have to be honest and say that apart from it being quite fun not just for the kids, the park setting in itself was wonderful what with Kensington Palace, the round pond, Italian gardens and so forth.

It's an all rounder, a great place for a family day out with a pic-nic, a football, a book, a kiosk stroll for an ice-cream, but mind the alcohol though! Be sure you're allowed to drink freely in the park before packing your pic-nic bag!

Yalla Yalla

FINALLY!
After numerous attempts to eat at Yalla Yalla in Soho we managed to get a table at lunch not so long ago.
Well worth it!
Beirut Street Food, it's prepared once you order, we ordered three dishes baba ghannouj, kibbe lahme, falafel as well as lots of pitta and topped it off with one of their yummy home made juices.
Not so pricey and quite filling, we left with happy, smiley bellies.
