I got to play tour guide this weekend! Still ended up seeing sights I haven’t seen yet. So much left to do, so little time!

A Rainy Day in Notting Hill (Portobello Road) I took a walk to Notting Hill for the first time yesterday. The weather was off and on but it was still lovely to see! The colors and store fronts are clearly adorable, and there is a fascinating array of antiques and goods from pocketwatches to Paddington Bears laid out along the sidewalk by vendors. I walked away with an authentic antique tin from Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953!! I love it :-) photo: Nora Hanlon
