Hi there Well its our last day in London and our last blog from the other side of the world. We are off to Los Angeles tomorrow. We have had a great time here. The Stomp show was A-MA-ZING, FUNNY, INTENSE, LOUD, very well done, they made music out of all sorts. Newspaper, lighters, brooms, rubbish bin lids, plastic shopping bags, paint tins, rubber pipes, etc, etc, etc. We all really enjoyed it, have not laughed so much and would recommend you going to see it if you get the chance. The LONDON EYE well what a view, both Hannah and Robert enjoyed walking all around the pod while Marion sat very still on the sit in the middle. We had blue skies for our ride and could see for miles and miles. The TOWER OF ... read more

Well, this week started out with a lot of snow! I was pretty excited the first day, Monday but at the same time, had to cancel all of my plans because of the snowfall. The kids had no school and people here don't own shovels which is strange (resulting in ice after the fact). So, Monday was shot as there was no public transport, etc. Rhiannon and I managed quite a good day making snow people that were supposed to look like us! We also made a lemon drizzle cake which turned out great. Tuesday - no school again. I cancelled my volunteer stuff and in the afternoon, Alex was home with us so we made a carrot cake and hung out together. I later went to visit Hannah, Chris and Mark. Mark and I were ... read more

Jumped on our Easyjet flight from Roissy-CGD to London, Luton Airport. Ahhh Easyjet.....remind us to tell you the story about boarding when we get back. The Airline itself is great but as for the no frills staff at the airports that they employ....well that's another thing. Grand Final fever is building over here !! Well in our little 6 x 4 that is. Glad to hear that many got seats. Anyway we arrived ok into the UK & as planned were met by our driver. Makes travelling with kids soooo much easier, costs a little more but removes a lot of the stress & hassle. I was surprised by just how far out Luton was. I expected 30-40 min but it took around 60 min but hey it was 5.30pm driving into London. We got to ... read more

I realize it's been quite some time since I was actually in London. Almost three weeks actually. Somehow though, many of you seemed to have liked reading this, so I thought for all of you, my adoring readers/fans, and really for myself as well, I would write about the last four days of my trip. I have put it off for a reason I guess, you know "living in the now" and such--but I feel like I can write about it now and not feel depressed about it. Well I'll feel a little bit depressed. On the other hand, 20 years from now, when I'm menopausal, coloring my hair not for fun but to cover up the grey, and am known as the crazy bunny lady from down the street who does performance art that involves ... read more

So we left the museum. We saw pretty awesome things like the Rosetta Stone, Lamassu's, an Easter Island statue, Cycladic plank idols, a Caryatid from the Erychtheon, many statues, sculptures, figures, and such. It was pretty exciting. Then we were off to Harrod's the amazing ridiculous department store that sells everything. seriously. parker bought an apple. sam and eleni bought chocolate. adi found saddles. they had an arcade, but it was just full of teddy bears. weird. two employees asked Parker about his kimono. one african guy said that it reminded him of african dress. one japanese woman asked where Parker lived in japan. security guards kept telling us to hold our backpacks in our hands. Parker finally asked why, and they said that it helps with pick-pocketers, and prevents accidental knocking over of things. by ... read more
