Today I am grateful for The Natural History Museum, seeing more of Harrods , the Portobello Markets on a Saturday and Phantom of the Opera.
Friday and Saturday seemed to be days of revisiting things I have done before. I am always surprised that I can visit places more than once and each time see it with new eyes.
The Natural History Museum is a beautiful building filled with lots of different collections from the natural world( I hadn’t been here before).
Visiting this museum caused me to reflect on all the people who work in this building behind the scenes. I have no interest in insects or snakes or rocks or many of the other things in this museum but I am very interested in how to improve and preserve our planet. I am in awe of all the research and time other individuals are spending researching and investigating our natural world and how we each have an important role to play in this world no matter how different and uninspiring it may seem to others.
After our visit to the museum we stopped at Harrods for lunch. I was again reminded how one person can make a difference – it may seem small and insignificant but one person can change a persons day.
Sophia and I had coffee at the coffee counter and the man making my coffee made my day!
On Saturday we visited the Portobello Markets again. Saturday is the big day at the Portobello Markets. We started with a delicious breakfast at Bluebells.
We stopped by the Travel Book Shop and the Blue Door from the movie Notting Hill.
And just in case you don’t remember the movie…..
In the evening we went to Phantom of the Opera. I have seen Phantom of The Opera numerous times and always love it.
We were lucky enough to see The London Pride March on the way.
The parade itself, which coincided with England’s World Cup quarter-final in Russia, included about 30,000 people from 472 organisations.
But up to one million other people are thought to have lined the streets to watch the event.
Once again I was reminded that every single person is special and we all have a special and unique contribution to make to this world.
Until next time
