Planes, trains and lakes The flight to Berlin is relatively uneventful. T has a couple of outbursts at the airport before we get on the plane, but that seems to be his traveling norm now and I bribe him to keep walking with the promise of some Fanta when we get on the plane. A couple of people make their [...]
We get off the train at Kings Cross station and are hit by the heat of London again after a refreshing few cool days up North. The boys are too hot and bothered to contemplate much of everything after the walk back to Bloomsbury with our suitcases and so I pop out on my own for one last swoop of [...]
Big boobs and Potter Hi ho, hi ho, it’s back to London we go. With out gluten free snacks and our big back packs, hi ho, hi ho, hi ho, hi ho. We’re on the move again after our last full day up North yesterday. A quiet day was on the cards for us all, after all of the activities [...]
Strawberries, gunmen and castles C sobs as Germany goes out of the World Cup. Really hearty sobs. I mean, we’re all a bit miffed, but I had no idea he had become so emotionally involved in the ‘footie’. It marks the end of another event filled couple of days. I truly know that we are back in the north of [...]
Surfers, windmills and milking cows I wake up on a chilly summer morning in the middle of the countryside and remind myself that you should always be careful what you wish for. Yesterday in the scorching heat, I declared that I could hardly wait to get ‘up North’ to cool down. Now that I’m here, I’m wondering if that desire was [...]
Knights, castles and bubbly Our last full hour in London town – for a week. Am about to make gluten free sandwiches for the train journey up North and after a whirlwind of a week am ready for the peace and quiet of the countryside. We’re all pretty fried after cramming so much in and restless nights sleeps in the [...]
Goats, big wheels and swallowed balloons This morning we set out to discover Coram’s Fields (http://www.coramsfields.org/). It’s one of the only 3 childrens playgrounds that seems worthy of a mention in the Children’s section of the London Time Out guide. It’s just around the corner, so seems crazy not to check it out. We stop off at Costa Coffee for [...]
Escaping the heat of the city Today we escape the heat of the city. We pack up a bag with snacks, Nintendo DS’s for the train journey and my laptop and head to Walton on Thames via Waitrose to buy some gluten free bread (Genius gluten free – delicious) and the Post Office where the kids spend their pocket money [...]
Earthquakes, earthquakes and more earthquakes I miraculously wake up before the kids this morning. It’s another steamy sunny day in London and the apartment is flooded with sunlight at 6.30am. It’s nice to open the big window, sip a coffee and watch the world wake up and start going to work. I manage to do some yoga – have pledged [...]
Another one bites the dust Another steamy day in London town. It’s 30 degrees celcius today and I really do wonder whether we will be needing around 75% of the things that we have packed to bring. C has been awake since 5am. T and I sleep longer, as we’ve been up midnight feasting again. We wait for Anna to [...]
