So I'm back, again.... for a few updates.
When I broke my elbow, Katie sprang into action and came to our rescue. She drove over from London, and took the girls and I home with her.
We got to hang out with Katie, Terry and India and live like real 'Londoners'. We went with Katie and India to her music class. The girls really enjoyed that! We hung out in their garden and garden house, and fed the fish. We went shopping. Which was a blessing! I needed to get Grace a few things for school, and the elbow threw a wrench into all my plans. But luckily there is a Marks & Spencers and Mothercare just up the street, and we were able to get that all out of the way. We also went to the Royal Botanical Gardens one day and took a picnic and played on the playground.
But on Wednesday, Matt got to town, and we played tourist. We met him down by Borough Market, and walked through all the stalls and grabbed lunch. Borough Market is a huge outdoor market in the middle of London, and they have EVERYTHING. Afterwards we strolled down the Thames to see the sites.
Here is Matt & Audrey with Big Ben and Parliament across the River Thames.
Our lovely hostesses, Katie and India
The London Eye, Big Ben, Parliment and the River Thames.
A levitating street performer....we're still trying to figure out how they did it!!!
Big Ben, Parliament, and Westminster Abbey in the background.
How many Caspermeyer's can you shove in one phone booth?
We also got to see the Olympic Rings over the Thames!!
We finished the day off with some Fish and Chips and then headed back to Casa de Rawlings for some much needed rest!
Next up....A Sunny (&hot) Day in Windsor!
