Richmond is a beautiful part of London, located along the Thames and home to many of the wealthier and elite set of Brits.. For example, Brangelina and their orphanage are living in the area at the moment. But it's expensive out there with a reason.. it's a very serene and relaxing place located within London, especially walking along the Thames river.

I've been out there twice so far, once to visit the beautiful Ham House with a class and the other was this weekend, but I'm not going to spoil that surprise (which isn't really a surprise, but kind of) (it's not even worth getting all hyped up in your mind about.. forget I said anything..) but both times it's really been quite a lovely area to be in, even when the weather is dreary and grey.

You also may be wondering how I acquired these photos; my darling roommate Mussels has generously let me use her "crap camera" to take photos with when I want to. :) So YAY MUSSELS, thanks for developing a sliver of a soul in your barren heart. (Wink)

But all in all, here are some outtakes from the Ham House trip and along the river Thames in Richmond! Hard to believe this is still well within the confines of London.. completely different from the hustle and bustle of Central London, that's FO SHO.

That about wraps that up.. If you're ever in London and want a quick fix of country, the river, maybe some sporadic horses and cattle or a wild Brangelina sighting, go to Richmond!

Until my next post..
