Keeping a promise made a very long time ago - over a year to be precise. So, my cousin's son Lewis (my "nephew") and I headed to the big smoke after a year's hard work in school for him. It was as gentle a little trip as is possible in a big city. We;
- went to the King Tutenkhamen exhibiton (disappointing)
- saw the "Mummies" 3D film (seriously attractive specs)
- stayed with friends Julie and Simon and ordered Indian food for tea (eyes light up)
- watched the most amazing foxes in the garden (great entertainment for an hour after breakfast)
- travelled from Greenwich to the Tower pier by boat (why is the w silent?)
- went to the Tower of London (they let us leave again)
- saw the crown jewels (nice and sparkly)
- ate ice cream to cool us down (hot and sunny while Belfast had muggy and pouring)
- went to a toy shop. Hamleys. (Wow! Brilliant! Amazing! Do we have to leave?)
Oh to be 11 years old again. ;o)
(Next time Lewis, bring your passport. You're an excellent travelling companion and I really enjoyed our trip!)
Sounds like a fab trip. Im glad to see youre doing ok. I got stuck in Hamleys in London 2 weeks before Christmas. Ive never seen so many people in one shop. It was awful!
ReplyDeleteHi Etta, sounds like you had a brilliant time in London. Glad that your feeling a bit better and your strength is coming back. Been missing your posts in your blog, so welcome back again girl!! I have heard about that toy shop in London. I would just love that!! You would never get me out!! You were right about the weather in Belfast - we were there for 14 days and got 2 days with blue skies and a little sun!! I think I need another holiday to get over the holiday in Belfast!!
ReplyDeleteWell you take care, will be in touch again soon.
Love Laura
So good to see you back. I have missed you.

Bree,
ReplyDeleteWas just lovely. 2/52 before Christmas is seriously "stay-well-away" time!
Laura,
wick - you should have been here this weekend - really sunny! (And misty.) This year's summer colour is rust.
Nancy,
