Day 1 - 20th Feb 2008
The Journey
On our way to the UK. We were all organised this morning - that certainly makes a change. Syaing in yesterday was a good move. It gave me the opportunity to sort through Talia´s paperwork and results at my own pace whilst the girls were at school.
Well,e mum and Dad were fantastic and came with us to the airport to give us a hand. Just really helps to have extra pairs of hands! Now we´re on the plane and so far, so good. Talia is on my lap and fast asleep - I fed her a yogurt on the way up so that hopefully her ears will be ok. She looks so gorgeous! The other two girls have been great (so far!!) They dressed themselves this morning and even managed to do a Kumon before leaving at 8am! Now they are busy pouring over their Nintendo an d eating skittles -a treat for the plane, the onetime their mum lets them have sweets. Andrew is excited to be on holiday and is leafing through his ´PC Answers´- his idea of a light read!
London
We are staying at the Premier Inn in central London and it is fantastic - we have a family room and it is huge. It is clean and very tastefully done up. They have just expanded and refurbished so our room looks brand new - even the cot still has a label on it. This actually is better than a 5 star hotel -so spacious and clean.
Dinner
My niece came over for supper and we had a lovely meal at a nearby Pizza Express. Umm - I love the American Hot Pizza and warm dough balls. It was so lovely to see my niece - she is studying in London, doing a degree in Physiotherapy. We have a large family and it is nice to see people on a one to one basis. We had a great meal and the girls were so excited to see their cousin.
