Warning, this is just going to be a post with lots and lots of cherry blossom pictures. We went looking at them yesterday and it was glorious! Unfortunately, it’s really horrible weather today, so they might all be washed away by now. Anyway, enjoy.

On Sunday, it was a beautiful day here. Not as warm as Saturday but we had lovely clear, blue skies and it was the perfect weather to go and see the plum blossoms! So we went to 亀戸天神 (Kameido-Tenjin Shrine).
These green signs led the way from the station. The main road that we went along was pedestrianised which I loved. Not sure if this is just an every so often thing or an every Sunday thing, but it felt very daring to be able to just walk in the middle of the road.

I find it even more difficult than Ikebukuro and Shinjuku. ...
It was my birthday the other week. The picture above is of Paris which is where I was last year when I turned 28. Unfortunately, we were there when the tragedy took place. This year, we stayed local. We spent the day in Omotesando, Harajuku and finally Shibuya.
For lunch we went to Aoyama Flower Market. I recommend it if you like flowers. It was really pretty and the food was nice too. We didn’t have to wait too long, around 30 minutes, but when we came out, the queue was massive and the sign said 60 minute wait!
