This weekend we saw a member of the London wildlife that we haven't seen before, a fox! Frans and I were walking home from a lovely afternoon spent in Wimbledon watching the Super Rugby. We passed through a parking lot that we walk through on our way home from the pavement and as we came round the corner, we saw a little animal. At first, I thought it was a big cat, but he stopped and looked at us and we saw him quite clearly. It was lucky that we were in the well-lit parking lot or else we wouldn't have seen him in the dark! He trotted off into the bushes - where presumably he lives!
As promised, I've put together a few pictures of the Thames that I've snapped through the window of the train. There's one in the morning looking into the sun and one looking up the river. And then there's one at night looking at the neighboring bridge, Battersea Bridge. I'm enjoying crossing the river twice a day, but since we're moving to Acton just before the easter weekend, this won't be the case for much longer. And although I'll be sad to give up my train view, living 20 minutes from work is much more appealing than having an hour and a half long commute! We are so excited for our lovely little 1 bedroom flat very close to Acton Town station which meets all our needs AND has a little garden to have braais in.
We went to Wimbledon (aka little South Africa) on Saturday to watch the Sharks pip the Stormers in the aforementioned Super Rugby match. It was such fun to be surrounded by so many South Africans. We met up with lots of our South African friends there later that evening and it was lovely to catch up on everyone's news and make some new friends. Once the rugby had dies down, the pub morphed into something resembling a night club But the DJ began the night off with some good old treffers!! Dancing and singing along to Kurt Darren's Captein while in London was really quite fun!
