Santa came!!

I woke up early this morning and when we opened the bedroom door there was a big sack of pressies - for ME!! Santa came (well, it could've been Nan and Grandad..)! I took my sack down to the Christmas tree and opened up my stash. I got some lovely books, an animal train, some stacking...

Great Gran

Today I met my Great Grandmother! She was lovely - really cute, with a wonderful laugh. She's a true cockney lady - I really liked her.

Shopping with the ladies

Mum left Dad and I to hang out with the Grandparents while she headed to the shops with her good mates Pip and Jo. They had a wonderful day checking out the shops on Oxford and Regent Streets, having a good pub lunch and even topped it off with a drink down a lovely wee side street off...

Roast dinner!

Today we caught the (very delayed) Tube to Aldgate East where we met Sarah for a great tour of the local area. Unfortunately Spittlefield market doesn't open on a Saturday, but there was plenty more to check out. We walked down some cool little streets that must have been there FOREVER! We...

Shopping!!

Yay, we had a lovely day out with Nan and Grandad at Lakeside Shopping Centre! It was straight to a coffee shop for their beloved coffee and then enjoyed their usual at the food court - baked potatoes with tuna and sweetcorn. They headed off in the afternoon to pick up cousin Annie from...

Covent Garden

After a nice relaxing morning playing (I think I deserve it!), we went back into town to meet cousin Clare. She's lovely little lady and we had a wonderful time catching up. Again, Covent Garden and Soho in the afternoon was beautiful, with all the lights and people enjoying some Christmas...

Camden Town

After a quiet day at home playing with Nan and Grandad yesterday, we headed off to Camden Market today. According to M&D it hasn't changed all that much in the last 8 or so years! They still sell lots of Dr Martin boots and big woolly jumpers and lots of bogan stuff! It was cool to go...

Last few days at work...

Only two days to go until I won't have to wear a tie again for a year or so...we've been so busy finishing off work and handing stuff over, that our last week has crept up on us really quickly. It'll be sad to leave Cumbria and Moss Cottage though - we've had a great few months in the...

Tonbridge

I didn't sleep very well last night, so it was a slow start to the day but eventually we made our way to Charing Cross to catch the train to Tonbridge, to see my cousin Hayden again - and check out where he's living so we can report back to Aunty Maria!! His girlfriend Gemma was with him, and...

Tegel - Heathrow

Tegel is very different from all the airports I have been. It is in a circular shape or octagonal shape. The check in and boarding areas are configured as a complete independent unit. It is not like the conventional airport where there is just one immigration and customs security area. By...
