Never Being Boring

[dotinthesky]

Hampstead Heath was Kevin & mine's destination this Saturday. We waited until noon to leave our home, after the real estate agent had come round with a couple to see the apartment. I'd spent the morning playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and was itching to get some sunshine. Kevin suggested we pack a backpack with our usual stuff (towels, water, sandwiches) and head north. And so we did.

On the way there, we bumped into Gillian McKeith as we entered our train. I bought two bananas, a BLT sandwich, a raspberry/strawberry smoothie and a 1L bottle of water once we reached Hampstead Heath's southern entrance. Shirtless men throwing frisbees reminded us of Montreal's Mount-Royal Park; one of the pond's was covered with algae, which Kevin photographed with his disposable camera; not many people seemed to be around, and the percentage of queers wandering around was quite high -- I even spotted a few men in the woods, off the tracks.

We reached the lawn just south of Kenwood House and settled on the soft grass; Kevin stretched himself underneath a tree and listened to his mini-iPod while I plopped myself on my towel and worked on my tan. After an hour, boredom got the best of us; we walked towards Kenwood House for capuccinos in the garden then left after Kevin bought an ice-cream.

We learned today that there's a bus -- the number 46 -- which runs from Hampstead all the way to Warwick Avenue Tube, the station nearest our home. We bought our dinner at Tesco and arrived home about half an hour ago. I'm now waiting for the boiler to heat up so I can clean the bathrooms.

We watched Serenity last night (blergh) and we are watching Kiss Kiss Bang Bang tonight. After Big Brother, of course.

What would be the Hampstead Heath? I thought it was related with hemp, lol

It's a beautiful park just north of London's downtown. It has plenty of paths and it feels almost like a forest. It's a great place to go for walks and picnics.

I bet I could be alone there :)

For sure. Many people go there to jog, to walk, to read books, and even to find love (at night, it's a favourite place for gay men to go.) ;-)

Very very nice :)
I wish we had a place like that, so I can find love, enjoy the Nature and even celebrate it with my Pagan rites.

And what exactly are your Pagan rites? Do you like to run naked through the woods, in search of love? :0)

Lol! Nooo, that wouldn't be me running naked through the woods in search of love! XD
Pagan rites are rites to celebrate the Nature! I'd scare people running like that XD
