Sorry - have been totally hopeless! we seem to have been so busy that I've just not managed to update on here :(

Anyway, the highlight of the last 10 days have to be our trip to London last friday. Lucy ans Izzy had a teacher training day so Jim took the day off work and we went on out big adventure! The big girls were very excited, as it was the first time on the train and tube for both of them. They wanted to see every London site they'd ever heard of, but we only managed a few - saving the rest for next time!

We started off by getting the train to Euston the the tube to Embankment. We walked along by the Thames (first 'site' ticked off the list!) down to the London Eye...



then we went and saw the Houses of Parliament and stopped to listen to Big Ben chime at 11am....



then we walked to Buckingham palace, via St James park where we watched the squirrels...



we were in time for changing the guard at Buckingham palace, which was very busy!



after that we marched (left, right, left, right.....) across Green Park to the tube and on to South Kensington and the Natural History Museum. We spent the rest of the afternoon there exploring dinosaurs, mammals, marine fossils, invertebrates, minerals, meteorites, the earthquake machine, volcanoes.....



and the cafe in the basement for a much needed caffeine break! We made out way back to Euston by 5pm completely exhuasted! takeaway for tea again :)

I've also realised I've not uploaded any scrapping LOs for ages - bad me! will try and get back later but have ahd enough fighting with blogger's upload thing right now!.
