We're back!

After nearly a year of not blogging I have decided to come back! We have had a good year so far - a couple of camping trips, a holiday to Turkey, the end of pre-school for Emily, a 4th birthday and a 2nd birthday!

Yesterday Emily and mummy had a "bonding" day out. We left Tom with Nana and Grandad and caught the train to London. When we arrived at Paddington we went on the underground to St James Park and walked to Buckingham Palace. We were hoping to watch the changing of the guards but it was so busy we decided to walk to Knightsbridge and visit Harrods! In Harrods we saw some amazing things, we saw beautiful dolls houses, and loads of Barbies! We also went to the food hall and got some sticky buns! We then jumped on the tube again and had a picnic in Hyde Park - where a squirrel shared Emily's hula hoops! After the picnic we walked through Green Park back to the palace. Then we walked along Birdcage walk down to Westminster - we got to Big Ben just as it chimed 2 o'clock! We saw the houses of Parliment and Westminster Abbey then had a ice cream overlooking the London Eye and the river Thames.

We went on the underground again up to Picadilly Circus and walked up Regent Street and went to Hamleys! Emily got some Barbie bits and we bought Tom a red bus and some Duplo bits. Then we went on the tube AGAIN from Oxford Circus to Marble Arch and went to Clarks to get Emily's school shoes - she is very pleased with them! After that we were worn out so caught our final tube of the day back to Paddington Station where we had a cookie and got the train back to Hungerford where Nana picked us up. Then we had fish and chips before falling fast asleep!!
