August 2008
I am taking full advantage of the eldest being away in Rome by popping this picture of her onto my post today.
We had a great week in London in the summer of 2008. We did all the tourist attractions and were really lucky with the weather.
We visited attractions such as the Tower of London, the London Eye, the Museum of Childhood.
We took tea on Oxford Street and saw The Sound Of Music in the West End.
We watched the ‘Changing of the Guard’ outside Buckingham Palace and picnicked in most of the Royal Parks.
This picture was taken in The Diana Memorial Playground, Kensington Palace Gardens.
‘Inspired by the stories of Peter Pan, the playground encourages children to explore and follow their imaginations, learning whilst they play’.
This was supposed to be a pit stop, but it was quite early in the morning and not nearly as busy as we expected – so we lingered!
The eldest helped the youngest with ladders, swings and climbing frames.
It is a brilliant place to visit.
This picture always makes me smile at the memories we made that week.
Have a lovely day!
Such a lovely photo! You seemed to had a great fun in London. #MyCapturedMoment

Ha ha love it that you’re getting this one on whilst the eldest is away!!!! Lovely happy shot. I’ve not heard of the Diana’s memorial garden – must look that one up. Would MasterB at ten be too old do you think as we’re going to London in the Oct half term?

I think he might, it will depend on whether there are lots of little children already there! It’s a lovely spot though and I love London in October, we used to go for Elle’s birthday when we lived in Milton Keynes xx

Hmmm yep guess you’re right – he wouldn’t think it’s at all cool if there was!! We go most Octobers as it coincides with B’s birthday too – he’s the 25th. When is Elle’s? xxx

The 23rd, it’s fab she was always on half term. We have always done great things to celebrate. Where as the youngest has hers at the beginning of May & is usually in the throes of SATS xx
