Busy couple of weeks here- have hardly been at home. Spent a few days in London- which we had been promising ourselves for a while- but were waiting for the children to grow a little ( wanting them to have some memories as well as making it physically easier). We inflicted ourselves upon my brother for five days (Zone 2) and tramped around. We had done quite a lot of discussion prior gauging the various family members priorities thus visited Natural History Museum, Imperial War Museum, Tower of London, HMS Belfast, climbing the Monument and walking past Houses of Parliament/Westminster Abbey, London Bridge, London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Nelsons Column and Downing Street. Higlights for the children were probably HMS Belfast and London Bridge (looking down the 'gap' where the bridge lifts), Mark liked the new wing at the Natural History Museum (Darwin Wing)- am not sure what mine was-probably seeing little awe inspired faces as each marvel unfurled in front of them (probably with the Underground at the top of the list). Lots of tramping and lots of pale stoical faces- who are still recovering 2 weeks later.
We then immediately went away in the caravan- over to Boston Lincs and had a few days near the beach, visited the Seal sanctuary at Skegness and some lazy mooching plus making friends on the playground at the campsite. Then Daddy took them to Devon for a few days to do a round the reli's tour- sounds like an interesting time was had..... Then I traipsed them upto Haworth yesterday for my aunts funeral- gosh we really must allow them to have a few quiet home days.

Cor, you have all been busy xx
ReplyDeleteHey, I live two miles from Boston!!
ReplyDeleteThe seal sanctuary is great, although Minnie usually ignores the seals and makes a bee-line for the goats!! Sounds like you've had some great days out. xx
