Polka Theatre

Polka theatre is a lovely little theatre for children. It is in Wimbledon which is very close to us and I visit it regularly. It has got something to see every day - it's much harder to book tickets for the weekend and I would recommend to booking well in advance. Last Saturday we went to see an alternative version of Red Ridding Hood with family and friends. The kids loved the show and the theatre space: an inside play area with books, vintage rocking horses and costumes. There is also a little playground with a play house and a giant cat to climb on  (pictures above). If you in the area and fancy a nice walk you should go and see Wimbledon park - a very charming park with a huge boating lake. Odessa was a bit withdrawn the whole day - we were a bit confused by it - until the evening when I discovered she had a temperature of 39. 

So we ended up home again, drinking chai-latte, watching The Aristocats and missing those lovely warm days out in London. It rains by the way. The cold and flu season has officially started.

coffee

'Let's go for babycino!' - it's one of those things I hear regularly nowadays. Let's hope she is not going grow into a coffee addict like her mother. She did have her first tiramisu today (from my plate of course) and after the first spoon she was ready to fight me for it. Anyway the thing is we both love cafés, especially when days are grey and moody, it's a perfect place to be. These images were taken around The Barbican. I was so happy I took my big camera in my bag so I could capture the beautiful light on my daughter's face. I love those big eyes so much!
