HI EVERYBODY!
Back in spring I took a little trip to London all on my lonesome. I like to go and be free to do whatever it is I want without being on someone else's time. Whilst there I starting to write. Not about anything in particular but just what I observed in that moment of time. I'm not sure how you'll read and review this but it is original and untouched.

Twenty degrees - lovely. It's amazing what some sunshine does to people. 'Lazy Sunday' is the perfect term to describe the way Green Park feels right now. Sadly, when sunshine arises, the English feel as though they need to jet away to golden sands and turquoise seas instead of truly appreciating the weather at hand; Mother Nature really can't win. It would seem however, today is different. Today people are here and now and living within the moment. I guarantee not a single person sat around me would change their location. Everything's just right. Although, yes, there is an audio reminder that can be heard in the back ground but I doubt anybody is offended by the sounds of the red buses and black cabs that line the streets and remind us that just a stones throw from our normal schedule we are now sat in Eden. To be honest I quite enjoy it, it's London's very own live orchestra.Within the gates of the park are my ever changing neighbors. There's a pretty good chance I'll never see any of these people again yet I could waste away the day chit-chatting about nonsense and feel warm and welcome into their lives. I don't know everyone's stories, in fact I know no ones stories. All I do know is that they seem content. Families gather under the shade of the trees with picnic baskets full of sandwiches and cakes and other English treats. Small children in dungarees are running around and chasing pigeons as the parents take a deep breath and soak up the well earned rest. A group of students have dragged their oversize book bags out of the stuffy classrooms as not to miss out on the only day of summer. Some are practicing French conversation with imaginary friends as others recite words far to long for me to quote on here.
There's a true sense of relief that comes in times like these. Londoners have such a fast pace way of life with the bustling streets and overflowing tube stations, it's satisfying to know there is balance in the world. It's nice to find the time to just stop and take a look around.
Love,
ALICE GRACE
