mona returns to london

Mona had a great month abroad –

London, Cambridge, Norway and back to London...

It was filled with family, friends and more family!

It was so fun to share our little London life with her.

She also had her first taste of hipsters in the “oh-so-trendy” Shoreditch.

Her comments started with…

“weird dudes with the exact same beard everywhere”

and continued as the bar filled up with hipsters with the same beard.

And no trip is complete without a trip to Borough Market

And come to find out, this was Pat’s favourite London market

so it was made even more special with that little bit of info.

We all love good food – especially ethnic food and London’s great for that.

French, Vietnamese, Japanese, Lebanese were among the faves.

And we also hit two of our favourite local pubs –

Exmouth Arms and The Harlequin.

The Saturday before she headed back to the US,

we decided on a whirlwind trip to visit

Stonehenge, Bath, Cotswolds and Stratford upon Avon.

Stonehenge was FREEZING, but really cool to see.

Bath was super charming and would love to go back for a long weekend.

Cotswolds are beautiful, but didn’t stop.

Stratford was very cool because we went to Shakespeare’s home.

borough market goodness

soho cocktails

can only imagine how many times this door was knocked on as people were looking for "models".

It was a really wonderful to have Mona here

and we miss her dearly!
