*a friday flower*...& a trip to London...

morning all...it's friday...aaahhhhh...
it's mad outside...
the winds have pretty much taken what leaves we had left on the trees outside my bedroom window...
&
we are on our way to London for the weekend...
in the wind...in our coats...in our hats...very story-book like...
i just love that...
for an aussie gal & her family i still think it's fab to say we are *off to London for the weekend*...
we have had many-a-holiday whilst on this side of the globe...
but not often can i walk the kiddos through our village to the station...
& simply jump on a train to our holiday destination...
no.car.at.all....!
i sort of feel like i'm doing good by the environment & i'm taking them on a real-old-fashioned-rail-adventure...
as i've said before, whenever we pull into euston station- the talk of monopoly get's louder...
as we jump into a gorgeous London cab...
the excitement builds...
as we pass landmark London places the plans are made & re-made...
&
as we pull into Islington the kids pile into the garden with friends...
& we pour a lovely first glass of wine & start the weekend catching up with dear London friends...


these friday flowers are for special London friends that share their weekends with us...
hope you have a wonderful weekend too...where ever you are...

  1. A weekend away at this time of year is always a bonus and visiting friends in London a real joy. Have fun.

  2. Oh enjoy your London weekend Melissa. I'm envious! We spent a week in a Holland Park terraced house when my daughter was a toddler. Such happy memories! I can't wait for your 'what we got up to' post!

  3. Oooo - I'm jealous, I would love to zip to London for the weekend. Islington was one of my old stomping grounds, my friends are all still there and I always enjoy going back. Train journeys are the best.
    Enjoy!

  6. How lovely - going to London town. Even for me as a Brit, going to the nation's capital is special. Such a cool city. And getting the train - you are good. I drive absolutely everywhere. I think I am single-handedly making a rather large carbon footprint. Hmmm. Hope you have a lovely time... Lou xx

  7. Ooh, enjoy your weekend!!!

    We used to live next to a train that went straight to Chicago. We'd catch it every now and then to go visit friends and just hang out in Chicago. I really miss doing that. And the kiddos LOVED going on a train ride followed by taxis and buses!

  9. I wish I could say I was going to London for the weekend. Instead it will be saying we will be sailing in Moreton Bay next weekend.

  13. If all goes as
    planned, there
    will be a London
    week in my future
    in the next year,
    as I have relatives
    that are in the
    process of moving
    there with a job
    transfer!! I have
    not been to the
    U.K. in nearly 15
    years, so I cannot
    wait....Hope it
    was all you'd hoped
    for and MORE.
    xx Suzanne
