Introducing Fluffy the rabbit and Smooth the guinea pig - Anna and Rosie's new pets.

Patty in the Park

 

Hi Everyone,
Well Mum's trip here is drawing to a close. There's been tears, laughter, drama, tantrums, screaming....and that was just from John! No it's been a pleasure having the Pat around again. She's been an absolute delight so we'll sorely miss her come Sunday night. So hopefully one of you boys might be able to collect her from Sydney Airport? She arrives at 5.55am but don't let that put you off- think how much traffic won't be on the road.

Anyways this pic is Mum in Highbury Fields which is just around the corner from the warehouse. A really nice spot used frequently by the locals. In fact Mum has noticed on several sunny days that 'all the men take their shirts off to sunbake'! Fancy that! After this we went out to dinner up the hill in Archway for...you guessed it...fish and chips. She loves em. Apparently they were the nicest chips she'd had in a while.

Last night we went to a restaurant in Kensington called Maggie Jones. It was a top spot for Patty cause when Princess Margaret was courting some bloke she used to take him there. She's dead now but the guy still goes there apparently (Mum quizzed our waiter pretty heavily on his knowledge of this and also corrected him on a few points) so it was a nice link to the Royals for Patty.

We've pretty much done all the 'Royal' things possible, Went through the state rooms at Buckingham Palace, the Mews, the hop-on hop-off bus tour of Windsor and Eton. Think we did the rounds about 3 times which was funny and a nice day out. Saw the Queens entrance to Windsor and also had lunch at the cafe/ organic grocery store in the grounds. Those royals like a nice bit of organic.

This weekend I think we're going to head into town again and nose around the shops or something nice.

Hope you are all well and getting excited about the christenings!!!!! I am!!!!! Just wish I could be there - so cool.

Anyways, much love to you all,

Michael
