February Half Term Holidays

 Emma, Immie and Lindsey

Hey up. We've been to Nanny's again in High Wycombe. As usual we spent a day with the Cooper family. We went to Slough Ice arena which Imogen seems to enjoy. We did it in Scotland last year and she seems to do fine. Never fell over once.

 Here too with Lisa and Ben

Whilst down south, we decided on another trip to London. It was only October since we were last there but enjoyed it alot. We didn't do as much touroidy things as last time. In the morning, we first headed to Princess Diana's memorial garden in Kensington Park. It was a great play park that for some reason had some negative publicity but we thought it was fab. They had security guards on the gates and locked fencing so very secure.

 Lovely pic of my girls.

We then headed to the British Science museum which appeared really good. However, it was chocca. Full of kids off school - how inconvenient! We didn't have too long there but took in some floors. It's a full day visit, our hour and half barely scratched the surface. Well recommended though.

And then came the highlight of the day. Cirque de Soleil, Totem at the Royal Albert Hall. That has been my ambition for years to go to the hall. It had a massive wow factor just thinking of the history behind it and knowing how many famous gigs and shows have been performed there. To Imogen, it was likely no big deal but she really enjoyed the show. Some of the acts were edge of the seat stuff that should be watched through fingers. Real heart in the mouth stuff. If you get chance, go and see it.

After the show, we headed off to Chinatown and met up with a friend; Jonnie. He took us to a lovely restaurant. Can't remember the name but it was fab. we over did it on the beers. Nearly £4 for a tin like the size of a tin of coke. The bill was a few quid short of £100!! Thanks Jonnie. It was alovely meal though. Southern prices, I blame fuel prices.

The rest of the week, we spent relaxing with Nanny which was lovely.We went to visit Grandad's garden and left him some really nice roses. Then we went back on our last day to say bye, but the Muntjack dears had eaten the roses and trampled over the cemetry. Anyway, we replaced them with tulips. Apparently they don't get eaten. Loads of Muntjacks down on Buckinghamshire.

So, back to school she goes after a wonderful week. Then guess what. She starts with Chicken Pox! And then another week off school. Seems it's been rife through school, but it's good to get them out of the way. Imogen wasn't poorly with them, just a bit itchy and annoying. She is fine now. We are really proud with how she is doing at school. Imogen is reading fantastically and is always keen to get her nose into a book.

Just a few weeks until her 7th birthday. Yikes, scary. See yas.

 Erm, Imogen with "Chicken Pox".

And finally, we live in a place where the post arrives quicker than the Police.
