Holland Park Walk in West London

Saturday, 17 January 2009: After exiting the tube at Notting Hill Gate, we stopped at the Windsor Castle pub which is an old pub that has three connecting bars and a large garden. We decided to set in the garden since the pub was full. We had to go through two different doorways (there were no doors, just the openings) to get to the next rooms to get to the garden. We literally had to duck and turn slightly sideways to get through each one. It was like being in a hobbit house. Here we are, Sharon, Rehanna & me trying out some ciders. Rehanna has been in London for over two years now. She started out as a student and is now working at the British Library. She is from North of Chicago (Evanston) and has graduated from Goshen College. She just moved into the LMC taking Dora-Maries room.
A short walk from the pub we enter into Holland Park. This is a large Koi pond with huge Koi fish in the center of a Kyoto Garden. There was a big house called Holland house, where Lord Holland lived but was not open.

Oh yes....Happy new year!
