Off we go

If you've been following me over on Instagram you will know that last week the boys and I took ourselves on a little homeschool trip to London. We packed a lot into those few days; highlights for the boys were seeing Tower Bridge open, the Science Museum, seeing the actual Crown Jewels and a Yeoman warden, the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum and buying wooden broad swords from the gift shop at the British Museum. For me it was seeing how happy my boys were, how appreciative of the trip, how enthused they were, and of course having them all to myself day and night for five days.

It was pretty sweet meeting up with my brother for an evening too, walking over Millennium Bridge at sunset and spending time with him, even if only briefly.

We had the tourist thing down. And it was great.

Both boys want to return, as soon as possible. Indeed, the Midget has announced he wants to live there when he's older. Right next to St. Paul's Cathedral.

And I find myself missing it too. London you were so very good to us. Alhamdulillah.

The Diamond Jubilee

We celebrated the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years reign, this weekend by forgetting totally about it, not giving a rat's bum and wallowing in self-pity at the ludicrious amount of rain now recommencing over the land meaning we couldn't make it to the beach.

But given that it's a bank holiday plus an extra day for the jubilee perhaps that's just as well....
