Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens is one of my favorite books. It's the main Neverland story by J. M. Barrie. So I was pretty excited to learn that Kensington Gardens was only a short tube ride away from our flat! I swear Cleo could smell the park as soon as we got off the tube. She was pulling and running and knew right where the entrance was, even though this was our first time. We entered at the Italian Gardens, which are gorgeous, grabbed a latte at the stand (I love that all the parks have coffee stands!) and waited for our friends Kelly (human) and Fletcher (Westie.)

| Cleo is more and more interested in ducks lately… |

| Cleo would not let me get any closer to this fountain. She hated the spray! |
We strolled around for over an hour while Cleo and Fletch zipped through the tall grasses with a childlike abandon that would make Barrie proud.
Then we found the Peter Pan statue! I was pretty pumped. Pan at the top is flanked by Wendy and fairies below.
We had a blast exploring J. M. Barrie's inspiration for the classic story. We'll be back soon!
I loved the Peter Pan statue too when we went there!
