London

Its been a shocking couple of days, first with the unexpected Olympic bid victory for London, who were very much the underdogs & then the bombings happening.

We are not affected as Northampton is quite far from London but its quite frightening especially since Mrs Kong was in the area just a couple of weeks ago. Everyone has been expecting something like this to happen but when it does, it is still a shock.

And being the brave souls that we are, Mr & Mrs Kong are going down to London tomorrow to catch a show & have lunch & dinner with a few friends. Don't really want to think about the dangers and really if we thought about what could potentially happen, we would never get past the front door.

It does make you think about how in a moment, your life could be gone & how much you should appreciate what you have.

So, we are going to London & will take as much care as we can & enjoy ourselves. Will post more when we return.

Stay safe everyone.

Pancakes at Kong Cafe, Sunday morning, 11am

We thought we should share what we had for breakfast today.

Fantastic American style pancakes with Maple Syrup. They were fluffy & yummy. Thank you Mr Jamie Oliver!

Sunflowers and Mrs Kong's broken camera

Its exactly a week now, since the back of Mrs Kong's camera has gone bust. the Nikon F80 will now not shut properly unless made to close with brute force.

Here is an example of what it used to do before the relevant parts went to Camera Heaven. All donations welcomed to the "Save Mrs Kong's Camera Appeal".
