Ibolya and I were joined for dinner by Rupert, Helen, Rachel and Oliver last night. I cooked very slow roasted lamb with mash and greens with some great wine, Beatrice and Denis had very kindly brought us, togther with a superb selection of french cheese.
Ru and Helen stayed over and after a large, cooked breakfast, they dropped Ibolya and I off at Notting Hill and had a thoroughly wonderful , autumnal, walk through Hyde Park, imagining having our, newly arrived, Little One with us and showing him or her the park, for the first time. We also wished Georgi was with us and missed her. Our destination was the Serpentine Gallery to see Gerhardt Richter's 4900 Colours and the last day of Frank Gehry's Pavilion.
After adoring the Richters and marvelling at Gehry's pavilion, we carried on walking to High Street Kensington.
We bought pies in the Whole Foods store and snapped this pile of pumpkins, I can't wait to make a Halloween pumpkin next Saturday.
We then, for the very first time and armed with Sara's, invaluable, shopping list, went shopping for Little One. This took us to Gap, M&S and Boots and we stocked up on all the essentials for baby's first few days and Ibolya's time in hospital. I found the whole thing tremendously exciting, making Little One's immanent arrival, ever closer and more real; as well as making us feel rather more organised.
