lileecat and julezkitteh in lundun!

yesterday morning, i joyfully bounded onto the tube to meet up with julia in south kensington, a part of london i hadn't seen yet. she'd been in london a few days visiting family on her way to south eh-frica, and we very excitedly made plans to breakfast together before her departure.

it was so good to see her! we screamingly (of course) reunited in the tube station, amid dullfaced and somewhat disapproving british peeps. naturally in all of the reuniting happiness i dropped my oyster card, and felt a bit foolish, but recovered it quickly. julezkitteh made a huge faux pas in asking if my coat was from primark, when CLEARLY its from jcrew. JEEEEZ. hahahaha it was perfect!

we walked around kensington for a little while, looking for patisseries and admiring imperial college, numerous museums, and quaint townhouses that comprised the borough. we eventually got stupidly hungry, so we popped into a little cafe that offered free croissants with coffee. after chatting, we ventured out again into kensington, looking at the posh boutiques and bakeries. pictures below!

natural history museum! i'm going back soon.

unidentified sweet building

statues outside imperial college. "you're so artsy, lilly!" says juliacat. this photo disproves her theory.

cute bridal boutique, with a crown on top!

private park

not so private with julez skulking about.

we knew we had to take a photo together, so we took this really awkward one in the middle of the sidewalk. that's kensington behind us!

alas, our time was short, for i had to get back to school for a lecture. julezkitteh and i said a hurried goodbye in the tube station, and i waved to her from inside the train, though i must've looked quite stupid. it was saying goodbye all over again! anywho, by this time she must be in capetown. wish her luck!

and on that note, i'd better crack the spine of "mr. biswas," the 600 page book i have to read. bugger biswas.

procrastinatingly,
lilly
