Hampstead

Finally, Blogger is cooperating....well actually, I finally have the time to update. The girls are quite content with a little Strawberry Shortcake. So anyway, I'm home now, but here are more photos from my trip. Once our work was done we stayed a few extra days to sight see; this particular day we took a trip to Hampstead, the nearest "old village-like" area. It was very pretty. We took the "tube", aka the subway, a lot...we got pretty good at it...don't I look like a local? Hee hee.

Tiny sidewalk into little shops...my colleague and our client in the foreground.

A cool looking cemetery; the gravestones were so worn you couldn't read the names. There was a map though, I think some famous people were buried here.....sorry, I didn't pay that close attention.

Why yes, they actually do have Texas-sized cars in the UK....this was the ONLY one we saw, thus it was picture worthy.


Just some neat scenery.

Crepe from an AMAZING "crepe stand"...I got the dark chocolate, banana & rum. Awesome!....also picture-worthy.

And finally, the magical little shop I found for souvenirs for the girls. Everything was pink and girly....I got miniature tea sets, fairy wings, a crown, fairy slippers, and fairy dust. Ava thanked me for these gifts at least 10 times after receiving them. I went a little wild! But it was fun!

I love all your pics! Looks like a great trip. Can't wait to see some of the little girls with their new fairy goodies (hint, hint)
