Gardening on the roof
Mom and I gardening...well planting pots!Well, I thought I'd have some fun and add an entry myself...not that we've been on any interesting trips or that there is anything much new going on....but hey, I suppose that if you haven't had a catch up with me in a while this will fill you in!As I am sure you all know, Mom and Dad were stranded in little ol' London over the summer...they arrived the second to last week of my school term and got to enjoy 2 weeks of stress when my school was ofsteded (inspected) and I had my final Qualified Teacher Assessment...(all English educational gargen...but all very stressful and important!) Their elongated trip for them was not what they had expected, but for me was a really fun surprise...it meant coffee dates, sight seeing, sharing meals, cooking together, eating mom's baking and generally just hanging out...For me...that was VERY special!Dad helped me buy a bike and Mom helped me set up my roof garden...There were times through the summer where it could have been October...we would set out on walks and be completely soaked within the hour...but a good laugh all the same and an even better excuse for coffee and a cake!We enjoyed
Jolanta and Karen
Don't we look the same... a short visit with Jeff and Lia....dinner at the Oxo tower...mmmmm.....Luckily it was a beautiful evening, we sat outside overlooking the Thames and watched the sun go down, eating only what I could describe as a delicious meal...(I can't seem to find the picture to prove it...but it is out there!)Since Mom and Dad have begun their adventure, my Sunday sightseeing days are no more...but I did have a great visit from Jolanta, Brent and Bronwyn...so great to catch up with such an old friend!And today I headed off to Borough Market...I can't believe I have never been their before! I have found a good reason to love living in London! And at this point I think I need some of those!And finally...after months of waiting we unveiled our newly decorated bathroom...after finding that the cavity walls in our shower room were infested with mould we had to do more than just give it a paint job...so here it is (this is for you mom and dad who were around from beginning to end -- almost)...
