Greenwich

Even after 5+ years in London, I still think it's rather cool that we live near the GMT line. If you ever wanted to be AT the actual line, you can take a river boat eastwards from the Greenwich pier and the boat operator is highly likely to point it out to you.

Two Saturdays ago, we finally headed out early to have brekkie and read the newsie at Pistachios (our fav cafe in Greenwich).. an activity we chat about all the time but never quite making it out the door in time for! check out Grumpy-pants in piccie below..






Weird how chips were included in this english breakfast

Next up was also another untraditional stop for us - the National Maritime Museum (also in the village). One of the good things about London? Free entry to museums.. A suggested donation of £2 per visit allows Londoners the flexibility to pop in and out of museums at their own leisure without thinking OVERLOAD!



Check out how the daffodils look GIGANTIC next to me!



(Cue: Admire the flowers as you sing 'and the daffodils look massive today ay ay ay... and the daffodils look massive today ay ay ay... look massive today ay...' from the Cranberries)

Wow amazing you've been in London for 5.5 years already. And I still haven't come to visit.

Spring 2008 Sam and I will be visiting his sister and her family in Ukraine. Will you still be in London then or will you be back in Singapore by then?
