We wake to a new day. Eliot arrives today! We meet
Sarah, Hunter and Kevin at the Electric Diner on Portobello Road. Breakfast is
hearty and delicious.
We wait for Eliot to land at the kids AirBnB. When he arrives, we head out to give him some space to recover from the flight. We decide to take a walk in Green Park near Buckingham Palace. We find ourselves
back at the Queen Victoria Memorial Fountain: time for a group pic:
The day is fine and later Eliot, recovered, heads our way. He suggests
The Three Tuns, near Marble Arch and
we take our leave of the Park and head there. Sarah navigates and does an excellent job. We sit together for a while,
having pints and enjoying a rousing game of Wizard.
Game over, we go in search of an early dinner. Sarah has suggested Ognisko, a Polish/Baltic resto near the
Victoria and Albert Museum. We take the moderate walk there and enjoy a
sumptuous repast. We share Pelmeni and Pierogi. We each order from the menu,
casting a wide net over the offerings: Kopytka Dumplings, Chicken Kiev, Pork
Schnitzel. It is very good food.
Our table is on the back porch area, looking out on the Prince’s
Gardens. The setting matches the food.
After dinner, we head back to Notting Hill. The first
day with our whole family has been wonderful. What will tomorrow bring?
