We have just spent nearly 2 weeks in London visiting JP’s parents, who we haven’t seen since Dante was born 9 years ago 🫢! We visited the National Gallergy, saw changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square & Nelson’s Column, did an open air double decker bus trip round London at night, Tower of London (including seeing the Crown Jewels), caught the ferry to the Natural History Museum & Science Museum, did a day trip to Warwick Castle, went to the theatre shows ‘Matilda’ and ‘The Lion King’ (which we had to leave half way through cause we were all too tired). Cedric, the boys au pair form 2018 and his lovely wife Sae, visited us from Germany for a few days. We caught up with cousins, old friends and even managed a 2 night trip to Paris with my older sister, Jo, and her youngest son, Hamish-James for Jo’s birthday. It has been amazing, super busy and so much fun and we are exhausted!
