The Blue path is for Cyclists! Yey! I've found bike paths all over the city!
It's like following the Yellow brick road, except it's blue and not brick! But boy am I excited!
I discovered that if i follow a road it leads me to a blue path which goes straight to one of my favourite places so far - Southwark (pronounced Suth-uck! not South Wark as i had thought!!)
There are great cafes and bars, and fab boutiques and an Orchard garden made out of those wooden crate thingys! Completely reused and recycled in the middle of the city - love it!
As i cycle, my bike squeaks. It turns heads and i just smile and think - i love my squeaky bike!
It makes me laugh how squeak free everyone else' bikes are.....and as i cycle and push that left pedal down SSSSQQQQUUUEEAAKKKK - life is imperfect. mine has a squeak. i will fix it. but it'll come back, maybe not on my bike - maybe in my door or my bed or my floor. there will always be a squeak in my life! So I'll name it and welcome it!
My blue path takes me to so many back streets and "hidden" areas were cars wouldn't dare venture! I get to discover places I like/love/loath and decide where my "hub" will be and were it will not! A place were i can always go to for shops,coffee,tea,green grass,good blue path and exciting inspiring people to watch.
I love the parks. there are so many amazing huge parks here and i love them.
We had a world culture weekend last week and i got to sit with the hippies (1st ones i've seen since i've been here!) and listen to Columbian, Argentinian, Afgani and Afrian music, they played for free and everyone just sat around enjoying the music in the park under the sun.
God has created this Amazing world, with the most beautiful cultures, people, lifestyles, landscapes, foods, and so much more! Being here in London has given me such a thirst to explore! I've got the travel bug!!
There are Shakespeare plays in the West End park until October, and it's Brazilian month at the Southbank (along the river), where they have music, food, dancing and entertainment (free) for the whole month!
I went to my sister's boyfriends family home last week as their street was having a party! It was the most fun, food, drink, music and lots of people to chat to! Then there was the dancing!!! oh the dancing! No matter what age you were - you were going to dance to the Macarena.
So - I'm off to find another blue path with my Squeak!
