A rainy morning in London. Hami shyly sends a video message to her school teacher, and I head out for a late breakfast. At a nearby brunch restaurant, 'Well Street Kitchen.' I loved the friendly atmosphere between the owner and the customers, 

and the view from the table was beautiful. So this is a traditional British breakfast..! It was the most delicious brunch I’ve ever had. It was certainly a good restaurant. Just as I finished eating, the rain started again, then the sun came out, 

before it turned cloudy again. Hami's pigeon-avoidance skills! 😂 I came to the National Gallery today because it was cloudy. I listened to the docent tour that I had applied for the day before. I felt interested when I heard the explanation about the paintings. 

Also, I felt a new sense of emotion when I saw famous paintings right in front of me. I also luckily saw the special exhibition of Hockney & Van Gogh. By this time, Hami's attention span was starting to fade... 

We quickly picked a few souvenirs we liked and only went outside in the late afternoon. On the way home, I did some grocery shopping at Tesco. The prices of ingredients at London markets were cheaper than in Korea. I left the job of entertaining Carlos, who must have been bored, to Hami, 

and I prepared dinner with Tesco steak and salad. I roasted some broccolini and carrots in the leftover butter sauce, and the meat was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were nicely done. 👍 It was a tiring dinner after walking all day, 

but let's make tomorrow even more fun! ❤️ Today, I'm going to a small town near London. I wanted to take my time exploring the town, so I took a train. I ate a sandwich I bought from a bakery in front of Paddington Station,

passed by Oxford Station where many people got off, and I got off at 'Moreton-in-Marsh' station. I found the bus stop in front of the station, and soon enough, the 801 bus, which only comes once an hour, arrived.

I was so nervous about possibly missing my stop, but I got off safely at the village of 'Bourton-on-the-Water.' The scenery of the Cotswold village unfolded before my eyes, and I walked slowly, step by step. I stored the village's scenery and the image of HAMI in my heart.

There are walking paths and cute shops along the waterfront. Hami immediately ran to an ice cream shop, and I slowly explored the shops one by one. It felt like I had stepped into a Peter Rabbit storybook. I also visited a pottery shop that I had looked up beforehand.

I picked a small vase, alternating between places I wanted to go and places Hami wanted to go, and of course, I stopped by the busiest Christmas shop. This is what I chose. :) It was lunchtime, so I went to a restaurant for fish and chips.

Hami ordered tomato soup, and the fish and chips I ordered were incredibly crispy! Both Hami and I finished our plates completely, and we stopped by a famous scone shop to take some scones to go. I had to take a bus to catch the train.

I was getting anxious because there wasn't much time left until my train departure. But the bus was delayed because passengers had to buy tickets from the driver, and the train left right before my eyes... It was such a moment of disappointment... With nothing to do until the next train, I took out the scones.

Hami: "If you spread jam like this, it looks a bit cute." I decided to wait and make the most of this quiet time. Even in that small moment, I was happy to be able to be with Hami. I'll remember the scones for a long time.

Another rainy London morning, I took out one of my precious Jjapaghetti that I've been saving. HAMI: Mom, is Hercules also a Greek myth? HAMI: I want to get Hercules' autograph when I see him! HAMI likes Greek mythology.

So she had high expectations for the British Museum today. With HAMI ready to show off her knowledge of Greek mythology, we slowly start looking around. HAMI: I want to go to the Greek section quickly~ After passing the famous Rosetta Stone,

We found out that the Parthenon Gallery was closed for rearranging. I was a little worried that HAMI might be disappointed, Fortunately, HAMI recovered quickly. After finishing the tour, I looked around the souvenir shop. I bought her lip balm and a notebook she chose.

and I left the British Museum. I decided to spend the rest of the day walking around Soho street. I found the 'IDEA BOOKS' store that I wanted to visit. This is a private independent bookstore and design shop. I felt like I was in a cozy and warm British home for a moment.

I bought a hat as a gift for my husband. I stayed for a while and left. Next destination was the bagel shop across the street. I packed a bagel for dinner. I also stopped by Hamleys, a toy store that even adults would enjoy.

There was also a place where they made dolls themselves. I also found a corner dedicated to my favorite Peppa Pig! I guess Hami was also happy to see a character she knew. Wow wow wow! Hami chose a small cat doll, and I chose Peppa.

After passing Soho Main Street, I arrived in front of the National Gallery where the bus stop is. I also watched Hami's performance art... and we decided to come home early today and rest. The last evening in this house was passing by... According to my plan, today was the departure day.

Due to the staff ticket situation, we suddenly got an extra week. So I quickly found a place to stay near Notting Hill. I successfully found the keys today as well! This is a new place to stay for 5 days. The bed was a little high so I was worried, but the location was good.

I checked in at 11 and went out for lunch. Popular Indian restaurant in London, 'Dishoom.' Hami ordered non-spicy chicken. I ate delicious fried samosa. I also ordered the popular menu chicken ruby. I ate it with naan and mixed it with rice. It was delicious.

Hami was feeling good because she was full. Haha. The London Science Museum. If it weren't for the trip with the kids, I wouldn't have come here. I was a little surprised by the size of the spaceship and airplane. I came to the experience center, 'Wonder Lab' for Hami.

HAMI is also working hard on the friction experience... haha Let's go now... Let's go... I was thinking about where to go on the bus, The bus suddenly changed its route, so I got off at Marylebone. It was the end of September... but Christmas already!

I stopped by the bookstore in the 'Selfridges' department store. I also had chocolate ice cream with Hami. I had an early dinner at the nearby 'Flat Iron'. The steak wasn't so great, but it was okay. This was my first night in a new house.

I felt like London had become as comfortable as a soft sofa. Starting the morning with Korean ramen. Today, I'm going to the Natural History Museum. I was overwhelmed by the scale of the Museum as soon as I entered. What Hami liked the most was the jewelry gallery haha.

Hami was picking out a bunch of rocks as a souvenir... She said she picked two to share with her best friend. The Natural History Museum had a lovely garden. For lunch, we had 'Sushi O'. This was even tastier than sushi.

Soft buns with rich Indian curry and crispy pork cutlet! After a good meal, I headed to the subway station in front. I went to 'St James's Park' in front of Buckingham Palace. I stopped by for a bit before watching the musical.

The garden looked particularly beautiful with this weather. So cute~ If I had come alone, I would have felt a little lonely. Maybe because I was with HAMI who enjoyed small things, HAMI: Bird, I found your friend! I also started to see each little thing with childlike eyes.

The goose probably had no intention of stealing HAMI's candy. Now I'm going to see the musical 'Wicked.' It would be too late after the evening show, so I booked a ticket for 2 pm. I was sad that the Frozen musical ended a few days ago,

but I was proud that HAMI watched the long show so well. When we came to Korea, we watched the movie 'Wicked' together. Today is a bright morning. I'm going to go to the shops on Notting Hill Street. HAMI also looked for a four-leaf clover,

She also gave me a pretty fallen leaf. The first place we went was... 'The Spice Shop.' A variety of spices are cutely packed in a yellow case. I think it will make a unique souvenir! I went to 'Books for Cooks,' which I was most looking forward to.

As soon as I entered, there was a homey smell of food. HAMI looked at the food, I looked at the books. A variety of cookbooks were a feast for the eyes. HAMI... you still there...? I bought a cookbook that I liked,

I also looked around the cookie shop in front, 'Biscuiteers.' It was full of cute character cookies. The next destination was 'Couverture & The Garbstore.' They have nice clothes, but there were also many living items that stood out.

HAMI was only interested in mirrors though... The last place we headed to in Notting Hill was the bookstore. First, I bought a cat picture book that HAMI enjoyed, then I felt the comfortable atmosphere of a small bookstore. Heading to Notting Hill Gate Station,

HAMI: My feet were hurting me... so I came in because the scones looked so good. Cheeky Scone, I ordered one original scone. This was different from the one a few days ago, but it was delicious. In the afternoon, I plan to spend it doing whatever Hami wants.

such as... riding the Peppa Pig Bus! Among the kids riding together, HAMI seemed to be the oldest... It's a tour bus that goes around the city enjoying an afternoon tea set. The concept is Peppa Pig... 🐷

We sing along, we solve quizzes together. Hami said Peppa Bus was the best in London 😆 After dessert, she drew and colored Peppa. We passed through London, which was rainy and sunny. We got off near Covent Garden.

There was a magic show in the middle of the square. Hami loved the magic show so much, and the ending was touching... A cold morning that suddenly felt like fall had turned into winter. It felt even colder on rainy days. Monmouth Coffee, The Borough.

I heard it was a famous cafe, so I came here through the rain. There weren't many tables, but luckily there were two seats left. The coffee and bakery are both top-notch. It's melting my frozen body for a moment. I decided to go to an art gallery or museum on a rainy day.

Today is the Tate Modern, a modern art museum. I took the art guided tour like any other day. I was curious about what kind of works are displayed in the museums. She says that works that are the first to try something have historical value. I enjoyed it because I am interested in modern art.

Hami said she liked this museum because she could run. Today's lunch was at an Indian restaurant called 'Papadum'. Especially chicken biryani! It was as good as Korean fried rice, and it has curry chicken in it!

HAMI and I enjoyed it so much that we came back again later. Fortunately, the weather cleared up in the afternoon. The art gallery 'The Wallace Collection' - HAMI drew the impressive paintings in the mansion-like art gallery. I came here because I wanted to see the sunny Hyde Park again.

This time, I went to Kensington Gardens. It was a peaceful moment for me too. A moment when no worries, concerns, or plans came to mind. Seeing my mind empty easily, I guess it's about time to leave. Now I am going to the last place we'll stay for the night.

This was the house where a kind elderly British couple lives. After looking around the cute room, the owner's friend was playing the harp. He said he would prepare breakfast in the morning. The last place I'll visit today is Camden Market and Primrose Hill.

I first stopped by Camden Arts Center, but the art gallery was closed. I just looked around the shop. I was heading to Camden Food Market. The wind was blowing hard, but the weather was clearing up. I stopped by a used bookstore while passing by.

and I came here to have lunch with Hami. There was a store that showed an amazing performance of French fries... But I bought a falafel sandwich. She shared it with hungry pigeons. After wandering around the streets, I finally came out at the opposite exit.

The final destination is Primrose Hill, which has a pretty name. I took pictures of cute pumpkins on the way. The cute Primrose Hill bookstore I stopped by had many books that children would enjoy reading. And we arrived at 'Primrose Hill' at the end of the road.

It was hard to walk up the hill against the wind. The world looks different even if you change the height just a little. What would HAMI have seen in a new country? I hope this trip will remain a beautiful memory for her. I stopped by a nearby cafe for hot chocolate.

It seems like only yesterday that HAMI was a baby sitting in a stroller. She's old enough to go on long distance trips with me. After returning to the hotel, HAMI spent time in the living room, and I had some time alone in my room.

I'll really be leaving tomorrow. It was the last day that didn't seem to come. The morning felt calmer somehow because of the rain. Since coming to the UK, I have fallen in love with scones, biscuits, and hot tea.

Now the only thing left to do is to find the time to enjoy them in Korea. HAMI: I'm going to Korea now~ HAMI: Oh! There's no one. The owner of the house was out, so I couldn't even say hello.

Now I turn back time. The same me going back the same way, but as someone who saw the world differently from a slightly higher perspective. Thank you for watching.
