Is this really London?

Thanks to KL & Irene's (http://pokokkelapa.blogspot.com/) hospitality, I managed to see another side of London. Within 15 min of where they stay, we managed to visit an animal farm (http://www.mudchute.org/), eat freshly baked scones (don't forget to ask for home made ginge ale), play tennis at the Greenwich Park (the oldest royal park; http://www.royalparks.gov.uk/parks/greenwich_park/about.cfm), see egrets flirting with each other, pay tribute to what's remain of the Cutty Sark (destroyed by fire on 21st May 07; http://www.cuttysark.org.uk/index.cfm) ....





This photo is taken using my Sony Ericsson K610i under the twilight of London skies, so doesn't realy do much justice to the lovely couple I just spent the weekend with.

Wildlife at Canary Wharf

Casual Sunday afternoon stroll along the waterfront between Millwall Dock and Canary Wharf gave us a pleasant encounter with the wildlife (well, as wild as one gets in the middle of the city - as you can see the nest is made up of plastic bags and restaurant drinking straws!).

Irene first heard the chirpping of the birds and spotted the family right next to "Jumbo" Chinese restaurant near Canary Wharf.

From the photo we could only see the 2 babies but in fact there were 3 of them but the 3rd one was always photo-shy.
