More Heights

Bella and I did a swap on Wednesday.  We met in Central London, and I took the kids for the afternoon.  They got a chance to nip into my office and meet the people I work with at Insider.  Later, we found ourselves 100 meters over the Thames in a cable car!

We started with sushi on the steps of the Tower of London-
And then journeyed to the East End for the Emirates Air Line- a cable car that stretches over the Thames.  Well worth it, not expensive and thrilling for the kids (although I felt like I was always at the top of a roller coaster waiting for the drop).
After a boat ride back into Central London, we had a French picnic in the park- baguettes, fruit and a bit of cricket.

A Galician Food Experience

We walked three miles along the beach and through the woods to reach this place.   Once there, we devoured barnacles, goat, fish, steak and razor clams. Washed down with coke, beer and regional white wine. And then grandma's chocolate cake, cheese and honey and coffees for the walk back.

She arrives!

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form. The first Park female on this branch of the family in 5 generations gets her name from my grandmother (Dorothy M. Baetcke Park) and a relative on Bella's side (Isabella Dorothea Akers). And also inherits Bella's middle name. Any advice on coping with daughters is heartily welcomed by the father.
