Spring has sprung

The weather is finally getting warmer in London, and we are starting to get some sunny days. On one of these sunny days last weekend, I decided to go for a nice walk in Hampstead Heath. It certainly starts to feel more like a good idea to get out of bed early on a weekend when you are greeted with fresh crisp morning air and beautiful skyline view of London from Parliament Hill. With spring approaching there were a variety of flowers blooming, like little tulips that intrigued everyone’s attention.

One of my favourite parts of the heath is Kenwood House, a neo-classical 18th century building. With a stunning interior housing paintings like Mrs Musters as Hebe painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds and Portrait of the Artist by Rembrandt van Rijn. The fairy tale like pastel coloured library by the architect Robert Adam with its neoclassical arrangement, decorative frieze and curved ceiling inspired by roman bathhouses is one of the standout rooms. After a good wander inside Kenwood House, it was finally the perfect weather to sit outside soaking in the sun around one of the cafes for refreshments. Days like this give me hope that warmer summer days are approaching.
