Today Handsome Harry, Jane’s 11 year old nephew joins us on the tourist trail. Harry and I do some planning whilst Jane is getting ready. Do we have a surprise in store for her, we found a great walk to do this afternoon.

First stop is Wellington Arch and we climb to the top, but wait there’s more. A Stonehenge exhibition with the actual points from the Amesbury Archer one of the biggest archeological finds ever is here and then as if on cue the horse guards in all the finery march through the arch.

Now its time to explore Hyde Park we start with the Elizabeth Gates, the wander along the paths and meet our second Schnauzer. It’s time to sit by the lake and have lunch in Serpentine café.

What would an excursion be without photo opportunities, so then we snap trees, deck chairs, duck, geese anything that moves. Harry is very patient though all of this. Then Harry somehow finds a Japanese girl to play tennis with.

After a long walk we reach Marble Arch which today has a special event with six Lamborghinis on display. From old to new they keep everyone enthralled and the security guards busy trying to stop people from touching them.

The afternoon event was Seven Noses of Soho. (see separate post)

Harry after finding the most noses and winning the bet to chose where we go for dinner and selected Maxwell’s Bar andGrill for dinner so we could see his Aunty Alison. Unfortunately Alison was not working but we all had great food and then decorated the paper placemats with drawings of Lamborghinis at Marble Arch.

To top it all off we returned home and then decide to have a tea party. Jane brought out the best china, scones, jam and clotted cream.  We sat around drinking tea and reliving a magical day.

Thanks Harry for a great day out!
