Ian's Park

We finally made it back to Coram Fields. It is a wonderful park designed for children near Russell Square. There is a sign by the front gate that states that adults are not welcome in the park unless accompanied by a child. This was one of Ian's favorite places when we were here before but it has taken us almost a month to make it back. Coram Fields is fairly close to our flat. It has all the regular park equipment as well as several sheep, five goats, two chickens, and many rabbits and Guinna pigs. Kids are invited to bring vegetables to feed them and all the animals want to be petted. It really is a haven for children in the middle of chaotic London. Of course we will head back at our first opportunity.

On the way to the Russell Square Underground stop we discovered a wonderful Waitrose grocery store. It is a little further than Sainsbury or Tesco but is a really great store. We will head back as we get ready for Thanksgiving dinner.

The Natural History Museum was our last stop of the day. There is more there than we can see in four or five days so of course we will need to return. We looked at the fossils and saw some like we found at Lyme Regis. We also noticed that most of the fossils on display were also from Lyme Regis. The mammal exhibit was also great. It really is the first time I have seen a blue whale next to an elephant, and about 15 or 20 other animals. I really see why it is the largest mammal.
