  1. Checkin at Plan 9
    1. Edit

      Martyn was in town today so he joined us for a Plan 9 brunch.

    2. Edit

      It was like a Scottish reunion + Irish Claire!

  2. Checkin at Paddington Recreation Grounds
    1. Edit

      We got takeout brunch and headed to the park, where we were serenaded by a jazz band while we ate.

      I love Paddington Rec, it’s a really active park and you’ll find people doing every kind of sport, working out with their personal trainers and walking their dogs on any given day. We always feel guilty eating while laying on the grass as people exercise around us.

    After lunch, Tom and I headed off on Boris’s rent-a-bikes through St. John’s Wood to Regent’s Park, where I was distracted by baby giraffes at London zoo and almost fell off, and then down to in to town. They were lots of fun to ride and everyone starts conversations with you about them.

  4. Checkin at Ping Pong Marylebone
    1. Edit

      We treated ourselves to drinks at Ping Pong. I had a strawberry & vanilla bubble tea and Tom had lemonade with a pour in strawberry puree.

      We couldn’t resist ordering some dim sum too and tucked in to some delicious steamed buns and dumplings.

    We picked up some more bikes and cycled through the streets of central London and Marylebone. One day I’ll be on a pink Vespa, like this one I spotted.

  6. Checkin at Paddington Street Park, Marylebone High St

      If you ride the bike for 30 minutes, you can plug it in, wait 5 minutes and then pick up another one without paying extra. We discovered the lovely Padding Street park while waiting to pick up our next bike.

  7. Checkin at Paddington

      In Paddington, Tom took me to see this building, which is fake on the right hand side. They needed to knock it down for the tube but it’s such a posh street they had to make a replica fake building front, which is empty behind. We picked up our final bikes (the 4th of the day) and cycled home. I’m very very sleepy and worn out now but that was an awesome weekend!
