Day Out at Hyde Park in London

amomentwithfranca · 17 September 2015 · 15 Comments

We went to one of my favourite places in London, Hyde Park! This park is so beautiful and incredibly big! There is a lot of space to walk around, have some fresh air, eat something, take the kids to one of the playgrounds and finally just sit down and enjoy the view of The Serpentine lake.

We filmed a little bit during the day. You can see our video below:

Hyde Park Day Out in London

And here I’m sharing some lovely photos of the day:

My sister was in town and she also loves Hyde Park so our initial idea was to go for a picnic but the weather wasn’t for a Picnic really so we decided to go and have lunch at the Serpentine Bar & Kitchen, which was very nice. Their chips were so yummy.  We had some sunny intervals so for moments when the sun was out it was very nice. The problem was that in the end the weather was gradually changing for the worst and we ended up having a lot of rain!

We took a few photos in front of the The Serpentine Lake and which was full of swans and ducks – so beautiful. Bella was fascinated by them and wanted a lot of photos to be taken with them LOL. In the meantime the little one was having a nice nap so we were able to relax a bit and enjoy the view.

    Looks like you had a fabulous day out! I like Hyde Park but my favourite park is Regents Park. I love to go rowing there and to hear the band playing! Emma x

    What beautiful photos! It looks like you had a wonderful day. You were very brave to get that close to the swans. They terrify me! 🙂

    I love Hyde Park. You really don’t feel like you’re in London do you. I used to take picnics here for a break at work or shopping. So beautiful! And there is so much to do. I love the look of that little cafe/restaurant over the lake. I’ve never been there before. It sounds like you had a beautiful little family day out with your sister! 😀 Thank you so much for linking this up to #whatevertheweather x

    A wonderful place for a day out with family, I love all the happy smiley photos, you certainly have beautiful happy children! We love feeding ducks at the park, but having problems finding things to feed them now we’re advised not to feed bread, apparently porridge oats is the way to go. The serpentine looks lovely with tasty food. If I ever come down that way again I’ll have to remember! Thank you so much for linking up your lovely post to #Whatevertheweather 🙂 x

✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling b ✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling breakfast, right? I have been trying to keep eating a good breakfast every morning to help me with my low iron! .Most days I have branflakes and sometimes weetabix but Fridays to Sundays, I make a little effort and prepare overnight oats. I love them! They are so tasty and leave me satisfy for hours which means not craving for snacks until lunch time! Win win 😀.I prepare the oats with chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, honey and leave it overnight. In the morning, I serve it with strawberries, blueberries, banana and honey. It is so good! 😋 I vary the fruit that I put in but everything else is the same..What do you like eating for breakfast?.#overnightoats #oatsforbreakfast #easybreakfast #simplebreakfast #togobreakfast #quickbreakfast #breakfastideas #healthybreakfastideas #breakfastinspo #breakfastbowl #breakfastgoals #breakfastlover #oatmealbowl #breakfastclub #oatmealbowl

So we have our first teacher’s strike day today which means no school and learning from home..Bella is doing her school work via Google classroom so she will follow her normal school day that way and Sienna doesn’t have a structured day from school today so she should have a day off but we have agreed for her to do some work too, so she will be reading, practicing for her spelling test and doing some maths. This way we can all have a productive day 😉, well hopefully! 😬. Have you been affected by the strike today?

✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unf ✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unfortunately, it wasn’t that good for us because the girls have been under the weather. Bella started first with a sore throat and high fever for a few days and then when Bella got better, Sienna started! She got a horrible cough but no temperature. Her cough was that bad that she couldn’t sleep very well for a couple of nights. They are both much better now and back to school.. The weather hasn’t helped either. It has been so cold lately! I literally feel frozen all the time. Thankfully it is looking better atm as the temperatures are starting to rise. I decided to get my flu vaccine, so I hope it protects me from all these viruses that are going around! Have you had the flu vaccine too? .On another note, I went yesterday to a parents meeting about GCSE options for Bella. I can’t believe she needs to think about it already ahead of Year 9. The time really goes fast. Are your kids dealing with GCSEs too?.📸 Sharing this beautiful bouquet of flowers from @freddiesflowers to brighten up our day.#flowerarrangement #flowerdelivery #bouquetofflowers #flowersmakemehappy #loveflowers #flowersoftheday #flowersoftheweek #flowerlover #freshflowers #flowerobsession #bunchofflowers #foreverflowers #flowersofinstagram #homesweethome
