Let it Be

June 4

Hi!
3 hours of class this morning...
it was my first day of dish crew too. 
But wait,

silver lining

I got first choice at breakfast.
My favorite?
Banana yogurt with chocolate flakes

These muller babies have become

 a definer of my London experience.
You can't have a bad day,
when you start off with these.


We had to recite another poem today.
Ohhh how I love our TA
Paige Thompson,
aka
P.T.T.A,
P.T. Cruiser.
She is the best to recite poetry too.
This time I did Wordsworth's poem,
"Composed Upon Westminster Bridge."
My lovely friend Amanda Baugh and I
had a 
marvelous time 
trying to memorize it. 
Weird Kelsey-like sound effects included. 

It was time to go

back to Portobello Road.

This was the first time where I 

really

had 

to 

stop myself for a moment.

I stood there and realized that this may be

my last time on this street.

Soooo

I made sure to 

really

seize the day.

That meant eating 

one,

 two

black bottom cupcakes 

from Hummingbird Bakery.

 

  I had heard

that these were the

treats

to

beat.

Who knew that the treats within this box

would hold so much joy?

These were our final seconds

before the world of cupcakes as we knew it

would change...

forever.

 

Mmmm!

Soo soo delicious.

Let me add,

that I'm not a huge cupcake person.

So this,

this is a big deal.

 

I just wanted to dance

and sing

and twirl

and possibly frolic. 

And...

MaCall and I went back 

to buy another one

just twenty minutes later.

 

And to add to the joy

we went back to see our very favorite gal,

Cath Kidston

aka

Katniss. 

  

MaCall was just a little torn 

about which bag to buy

so she confided

in this lovely chap.

 

Woot woot.

and we both left happy!

 Oh Cath Kidston,

how we will miss you so. 

But we have our matching bags now

to always keep you,

and London,

near and dear

to our hearts. 

 

 

Little did I know

that tonight I would be seeing

Sir Elton John,

Stevie Wonder

and Sir Paul McCartney.

Mhmmm.

Everyone is in town

to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee.

I saw them broadcasted live

here...

 

 

Hyde Park,

One of my favorite places 

in the whole wide world.

It was a splendid night of  

wavin' flags,

 

 creepy yet somewhat awesome Queen masks,

 

 a fabulous British host
who made fun of Americans for 
"sitting and eating their peanut butter and jelly"

 ...he said, it's "jam."

but come on, 

we just can't call it peanut butter and jam!

and,

it was a night full of music.

I will never

ever,

never ever forget

when Paul McCartney sang 

"Let it Be." 

Tonight,
I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.
I truly feel blessed
that I am here in London
at this time
and tonight, 
that I was at Hyde Park,
singing "Let it Be"
underneath the stars,
surrounded by thousands of
happy and proud Brits.
 And either I cried,
or a huge gust of dust went into my eye,
from pure happiness.

Thank you London,
for one of the best nights
of 
my
life
:)
