A beautiful weekend

The big people are free! Late Friday afternoon I met Tim in London as we were staying in the Wardolf in Aldwych for two nights whilst the little people had a mini holiday in Seaford with Nanny Anne and Grandad. Our hotel was right by Covent Garden so we went for a walk and ended up going to the movies in Leicester Square and saw '17 Again' which Tim thought was very funny, at the beginning I thought it was going to be corny but it turned out to be a nice feel good movie. We then had a late suppa before heading back to the hotel.

Saturday - we were up, out and on our way to Excel to Grand Designs live. We walked up Fleet Street, past St Pauls to Tower Bridge, such amazing sites sometimes you can forget what a beautiful city London is. Unfortunately the show was disappointing more like an interior shop than design! But anyway we got to see Kev! We then headed back to Soho for a lovely Thai lunch before going back to the hotel for a nap - how cool is that a nap in the afternoon! Tim had discovered this great new Italian deli called Princi in Wardor Streeet so we headed there after our little afternoon nap for some much needed cake and tea before coming back to get ready to go out to dinner with some friends... what a cool day!

Sunday - by the time we woke up we were really missing the little people so we decided to leave early and walk to Victoria as we thought it might be quicker as the London Marathon was on. It was a beautiful morning with clear blue skys and London did look its best. We walked down the Strand, down the mall (near the finishing line), through St James Park and stopped for breakfast opposite Buckingham Palace before getting the train, upon which we didnt say a word to each other but both read all of the Sunday Times - must be a first in months that we got to read it all.

We picked the little people up and Daisy was very excited to see us but unfortunately we got the cold shoulder from the little fella, I dont think he was happy that we had left him! They both had a great weekend with Nanny and Grandad doing lots of gardening (they work um hard), crafts, decorating biscuits, going to Bluebell Railway, etc. We didnt get to spend much time there as Daisy had a party this afternoon.

The rest of the day was spent at home cuddling and watching tv. Although Daddy did pop to the skate park after the little people had gone to bed and returned with an indian takeaway - what a great end to a great weekend!
