Abbey Road, Primrose Hill, Hampstead and another celebrity sighting!

Chris and Earle, day two.  The agenda was fairly packed.  We knew it would be a big picture day so we brought our fashion "A" game.

The girls are happy with stop number one.  Abbey Road.

This was our second trip to Abbey Road.  It was just as fascinating on this trip.  Cars seem to speed up to scare tourists who stop in the middle of the road for their photo opportunity.  Horn blowing and swearing make the Abbey Road experience fun and R-rated.


Next the team took a walk to Primrose Hill.

 This is one of the great views of London.  The top of  St. Paul's is the best, but Primrose Hill is right behind it.

Speaking of great views.....

Paddington Bear with a little friend.

Your welcome, Christin.

Visitors to Primrose Hill were warned about cougar sightings.





False alarm.  It was just Jen doing her Real Housewives of London P.R. shoot.

Chris and Earle looking cute.

From Primrose Hill we were off to Hampstead for Sunday roast.

The Holly Bush is one of our favorites.  The fates were kind to us as we got in right away without a reservation.  The fates were doubly kind as we had yet another celebrity sighting!

No celebrity in this picture.... but there is one coming up ...

At this point we were just enjoying a fabulous Sunday roast.  We had no idea a celebrity was sitting right behind us.


 There he is!  The waiter pointed him out only after he left.  A cool move by the waiter not to draw attention to celebrity guests.  

Here is a clue.  He's played James Bond.  I'll answer at the end of the blog.
(By the way, the only reason we have these pictures of our celebrity friend is because we are endlessly taking pictures of ourselves.  New parents take fewer pictures of their first born than we take of ourselves)

In the meantime, sticky toffee pudding for desert.

Walking around in Hampstead gave us the opportunity to take more pics of ourselves.

You don't want meet this guy in a dark alley.  Earle 'The Barber".  He's a deadly surgeon with a blade.

Watch out girls!  Earle the Barber is coming!

Earle the Barber looking for his next victim.  Hiding in plain sight....


Meanwhile, Bill is still posing for his solo album cover.

After gorging ourselves with Sunday roast and sticky toffee pudding, the only sensible thing to do was keep packing the musket and get more dessert.
One order of white chocolate crepe please.

Jen bogarted the crepe.


Great day ... gorgeous weather, great friends, fantastic food ... AND

TIMOTHY DALTON!
