I Spy Friday featuring The Spring Plop

Can I just point out that it is 46° F in London today? 

And it's the 24th of May.

 

I promised myself I would never become obsessed with British weather

and jump on the bandwagon of speaking about it all day, every day.  But, seriously?

This is just ridiculous and I'm now driving the bandwagon (due South).

I just want to be warm.  Is that too much to ask?

All right.  Enough of that.

Instead, let's talk about how much I value and appreciate you, my readers.

You may have noticed in the Sidebar over there, I have a new badge.

That's because you lot (don't I sound British) actually took the time to 

vote in the BritMums Brilliance in Blogging Awards!

And this blog is now one of the six finalist in the Travel Category!  I'm so totally thrilled.

I go back every day to check the list to see if I'm actually still there.

Here are the other five.  You must go check them out.

Mums gone to 

The Mum Blog

Thanks so much!  The winning blog will be announced June 21st.
And I'm being completely sincere that just to be a finalist is enough.

 

In an attempt to forget about the awful/rubbish weather,

today I'll share with you a London Sunday Photo Walk from a few weeks ago.

I think the temperature crept up into the 70's for about a half a second.

Everyone teased that that was Spring, come and gone.  I'm starting to wonder.

(I blame this weather on the new obsession with Game of Thrones and all their talk of Winter.)

We took the tube over to Green Park, relaxed in the park for a bit 
and then walked over to Buckingham Palace.

As you can see it was a lovely Spring day.

Even the brilliant tulips were enjoying the sun as they strained themselves towards the sky.

I'm hoping we'll see some more of that soon.

(If not, my next post will be from Texas.)

I'm sorry I've not written for a week.

I was at a travel bloggers conference in Rotterdam.

I returned on Wednesday, my brain full of inspiration and information.

I'll tell you all about it next week.

I hope you have a great weekend with an abundance of sunshine.
