we walked to church today.
25 minutes in very chilly weather, but with my leggings and scarf and sweaterdress and peacoat and boots, it really wasn't that bad.
mainly because it looks like this:


unbelievably gorgeous, really.
this is hyde park, which is just a hop and a skip away from our flat.
this place is so charming, you really must see it in your lifetime.
so we walked for 25 minutes through the park, which was surrounded by homes that look like this:


beautiful right?
today i heard jude law is our neighbor.
and i believe it because the only cars parked on our street are masseratis, bmws, mercedes, and audis.
anyway, after we got through the park, we took a brief walk through the city and spotted this:


church.
the people there were amazing.
very accepting and very diverse and very proud of their london culture.
we took the tube home because walking one way was enough for us.
and i'm glad we did because jet lag hit me hard today.
i hardly got any sleep last night, and i have to admit that my body is a little bit sore still from dragging my suitcases up the stairs, so i am just spent.
i came home and crashed and just took a 4 hour nap.
then it's dinner time, fireside, and back to bed again.
yum.
