Park, Park, Park & Park

Friday afternoon, after a absolutely horrendous nights (lack of) sleep*, we had C's Godparent Ubu and D's Godparent Mark over.  History here of Ubu and Mark . *At 2 in morning, a storm blew through- the kids woke up from the jetlag and proceeded to run around the house telling us how they wanted to go back to England.  Nobody slept from then on.

We skipped breakfast as we got out of the house at 7 am. so we had yakatori, porrage and keddigre at heathrow. now waiting to board our flight.

D's Godmother Nettie came by Saturday with a gift.  So  another small celebration for D. Nettie embroidered a tapestry in the great English tradition.

On our way back from London, we stopped at our little section of green- our allotment.  I figured we'd have more carrots, but was surprised to find a good collection of baby courgettes.  The kids ate their fill of raspberries as well.

On Sunday, we all trekked into Central London to meet a few friends of mine from my MBA days.  Jan from Germany and Gonzalo from Argentina. Gon, Jan, D, C, And A It was a beautiful day, so after lunch we all ventured down to the Thames and walked along it.  Here we are in front of Cleopatra's Needle .
