Richmond Park (Park)
23 April 2008

Wilderness in the sights of the city. Take sturdy shoes and go exploring... mind the deer who roam around as freely as you do. It's not really a place to set out a picnic and indulge in a little Pimms but you will leave feeling you've been to the wilds of Scotland for an afternoon. A very different London park experience.

Mariage Freres (Cafe)
23 April 2008

This place is divine. Tucked away on a street just off the Seine, Mariage Freres is a gem. Go upstairs and sample some of their teas in the tea room - be warned there are over 500 types of tea - it takes some time to select! The tea is delicious and served by waiters in crisp linen aprons. You must must try some of their gelle - marco polo tea flavoured - on home made brioche - this stuff is food of the gods. After tea you can go downstairs and buy all of the delights you have sampled in the shop. Wunderbar!
