London days 1 and 2: Rain and freezing cold!!!

 

¡Por fin el lunes por la tarde la lluvia nos dio una tregua y pudimos hacer fotos! 

Si vale... en Londres sieeeempre llueve... Y claro hace frío porque es invierno... Pero a pesar de todo, tiene un encanto dificíl de igualar. En especial ahora que mi hermana vive en Portobello, una de las zonas más preciosas y especiales de la ciudad.

El domingo, abrigadas hasta las orejas y con una lluvia que no paraba, salimos a pasear un poco antes de ir a comer a The White Horse, un pub que descubrí gracias a Ana de Addict Smile. El sitio es una preciosidad e hicimos fotos solo de la zona donde comimos porque el pub estaba abarrotado de gente y no pudimos... :(

Salimos rodando de allí y no se nos ocurrió otra gran idea que ir a Primark a quemar los 2 millones de calorías que nos habíamos metido entre pecho y espalda. ¿Un domingo por la tarde en Primark? Si... una de las mejores ideas que tuvimos. Jajajajajajaja...  ¡¡Y vaya si compramos!!

El lunes nos despertamos con algo de nieve, que acacabó transformándose en una lluvia que duró hasta la tarde. Y entonces aprovechamos para salir por Portobello y hacer estas fotos...

A pesar del frío helador y la lluvia... ¡estoy feliz de estar aquí!
¡Pronto más! Un beso enorme chic@s!

On Monday afternoon it finally stopped raining... thanks God!!

Ok, London is the city of rain... It's aaaaalways raining... And it's freezing 'cause it's winter... But despite that it has a very special charm. Especially now that my sister is living in Portobello, one of the most beautiful and charming city boroughs.  

On Sunday, wrapped up from head to toe, we had a walk before stopping for a typical British lunch at The White Horse, a pub I discovered thanks to Ana blogger at Addict Smile.  The place is beautiful and we took some pictures in the interior restaurant, not the pub 'cause it was crowded and we couldn't... :(

We ended up so full that we had the great idea of going to Primark to burn the 2 million calories we had consumed... A trip to Primark on a Sunday afternoon? That was the best idea ever... Hahahahahaha. And yes, we did buy!!

On Monday we woke up with a bit of snow, that ended up in a rain which stopped after lunch time. And it was then when we went out and took the pictures in Portobello...

Despite the freezing cold and rain... I'm happy of being here!!
Soon more! Kisses ladies!!

  3. It must be so nice to have somebody living in London - I really like the place, but wish I didn't have to travel there and back (it's got a lot to do with having a dog rather than anything else, though).
    Shame about the weather - February is probably the worst winter month because it's so rainy and damp and makes one feels cold to the bones.
    Thank you for sharing the photos - that pub looks really nice, I love the "candle wall" :)

  20. Fantástica como de costumbre, aquí y en Londres. me gusta la idea de superponer el chaleco a la gabardina, pq lo que me pasa con los chalecos de pelo es que al final no les encuentro mucho uso, porque en interior me dan calor y en exterior esta claro que me faltan ¡mangas!. Espero que te lo estés pasando genial por Londres ¡disfruta y cuentanóslo todo!Un besito.
