Nana and Poppas last day in London

Nana and Poppa loved costa coffee... here is a picture of us all there on their last day in london.


Then we went tent shopping, and when you buy a tent that is too big for your back yard where else do you go to put it up but the local park



Now we just need to find somewhere and some time to actually go camping, we are very excited.


Just minutes after we took the tent down it bucketed it down, we had to take refuge under the bridge.


Fortunately there was a pub nearby, a much better place to take refuge from the rain, charlie certainly thought so :-)

Windsor castle

We spent the day at windsor yesterday showing nana and poppa more of the great british summer..... I remembered that Aunty Amy had her photo taken in one of these holes last time we were here so wanted mum to take a photo of me and Zara.

London Eye to celebrate 45 years

congratulations to nana and poppa on 45 years of marriage, wow that is such a long time.... to help them celebrate we joined the queue with 100's of other tourists to see london from 450 feet above the ground. Poppa was a bit nervous and admittedly i did get a little nervous right at the top but all in all we had a great time and we all had smiles on our faces by the time we landed 30 minutes later.









after the london eye we strolled along southbank which is such a happening place, there are all sorts of performers as you can see by nana & poppa, and we came across a huge green lounge suite which was more than big enough for me and Zara.




Ticki Tour with Nana and Poppa

We spent a day and night in Henley upon Thames which is such a cool little town, we sat next to the river and ate ice creams, wandered through the farmers markets, had a meal english pub dinner, and watched the rowers practicing for next weeks regatta.





We tried to find a B&B in Oxford but the town was absolutely chocker so we headed south to a little place called Shillington (I think) we stayed in a beautiful hotel in the middle of nowhere, all we knew is we were next to the Thames. The Thames is everywhere.




Because dad didn't get his passport in time we had to cancel our paris trip, instead we hired a car and headed north to Stratford upon Avon, where we visited Anne Hathaways cottage and Shakespeares birthplace.





We took nana and poppa in to the west end to visit all the infamous london sights, this is us in front of one of the trafalgar square lions, nana wouldn't let us climb the lion so we had to stand in front of it!
