Summer is Here!

Yes it has finally happened... Summer has hit London. It started on Tuesday which was an absolutely splendid day :-) The sun was out ALL day and not a drop of rain, the first time that has happened since I got here. I spent most of the day hanging out in Wimbledon Park, with practically everyone else in the area. There were ppl sunbaking in bikinis (so weird!) and hot boys kicking a ball around with no shirts on (lol London is great!). Apparently this good weather is meant to last the rest of the week, and then in 3 weeks a heatwave is meant to hit! Cant wait!

Yesterday I went to Hyde Park with Sophie. We had lunch in the park like true Londoners, then went floating down the Serpentine on a paddle boat like true tourists! It was so much fun! Um...a bit too much exercise paddling the boat...but nice and relaxing when we just stopped and floated.
Then we went for a wonder around the park on a squirrel hunt. They are the cutest things ever! They just run around everywhere, even in the trees outside my flat. Its great! We found this old man who was just feeding them and had them all around him. So I was taking photos of that.... and then well it turns out that I'm a lil afraid of squirrels! I had no idea! I was just taking photos of them, and then one started running towards me and I freaked out and squealed and ran away! I felt really bad, I scared all the squirrels away for the poor man.
