THERE’S A GIVEAWAY THIS WEEK OF A CUSTOMISED LEATHER BRACELET – MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE A COMMENT ON THAT POST TO ENTER. (GIVEAWAY ENDS 09/09/2012 AT 9AM UK TIME)
When I was at school and throughout college we didn’t have a computer at home. I spent most of my lunchtimes in the computer room desperately trying to learn how to type and use a computer wisely. During my year at college (I did a legal secretary course) we had Fridays off from college and I would head to Kensington to a computer cafe to type up my assignments. Needless to say, that I have passed the gates to Holland Park countless times. Heading through Kensington is my passageway from home into London.
With hot weather expected to last for the next week, an early start on Saturday morning seemed like the perfect time to venture out and get a walk done early in a park that I have been meaning to visit ever since seeing photos on the internet in the spring. Holland Park turned out to be tranquil and still at 8am and although I think it would have been too much to handle by lunchtime, this is the perfect place to wander around and enjoy. And I know that I missed some of the park so will have to head back in at another stage (maybe once autumn and cold brisk mornings arrive).
I must start seeing more of the city I call home and that I love so much. I could have kicked myself for not venturing through the gates to the park sooner, but I know that I will return with a coffee in hand and a cake from Ottolenghi to soak it all up again soon.
