I have just had an amazing weekend!! Funny, the things that start out as something simple, "let's just spend the day together," turn into an entire weekend of fun! Not that there was anything particular to do, just a lot of hanging out and enjoying each others' company.
Friday we went to Kew Gardens. It was a beautiful day! We walked around the grounds, enjoying the Palm House (think large Victorian atrium that is very humid and houses tons of plants), the Japanese inspired gardens and the Rhododendron Dell. There was also a Badger Mound for kids that was fun to crawl through and a petting zoo that we didn't actually make it into, but got to appreciate the baby goats from the other side of the fence. After Kew we had dinner at an Indian Restaurant. Now, you may be thinking, "Indian is Indian, US or UK," but you are wrong! There were so many delicious items to choose from, it was a truly wonderful experience! Not like any I've ever had in North Carolina or in Tennessee!! Mmm!!
Saturday we hung out, shared music and went to Reading. He isn't quite sold on my favourites, but I think they will grow on him. [I have a 'Three-Listen Policy,' you must listen to a song/artist three times before passing judgment.] We also rented 'The Village' - which I really liked. That man (M. Night Shyamalan) has a very different way at looking at things and he translates it into suspense in such a crafty way. This is probably not my favourite of his films, but it was still really good, just because it is never what you think... Never what you expect.
It was hard to leave this morning, but I have laundry to tackle and a lot of packing to do. And somehow, through it all, I can't seem to wipe this silly grim from my face.
