@Mumtobabyhavoc I’m loving the photos of the observatory and the constellation of you and baby is gorgeous. You are making some brilliant memories with your children.
When my children were small we used to visit a local nature reserve with my mum. We had no car, so we walked or used public transport. There was a wooden bridge over a stream and we used to spend time there playing ‘Pooh sticks”, then carry on to the Flash which is a large man-made lake and watch the swans and ducks. In summer we used to take a picnic and then we would go and sit on one of the hides to watch the other wildlife. It cost us nothing but my adult children talk about how much fun it was. We loved going to museums, libraries and art galleries too. All free activities but treasured memories.
Ooh @MissConductUS I love herons and turtles. The photos are lovely. I’m sure your eyesight must be so good to actually spot the turtles, they are tiny.
I’ve only been to London a few times. My OH and I did a long distance when we first got together. The first time we went there, we went into a bookshop and my DS’s ex girlfriend was working there. I went up to her and tapped her on her shoulder, she turned round, screamed and ran off. I managed to catch up with her and just said, hello. She thought I’d stalked her and had gone to tell her off for breaking my DS’s heart. I hadn’t and she didn’t (this was 2 years later and he wasn’t even that bothered at the time!)
My OH and I went on the London eye at sunset, which was fabulous and we also went to the Globe Theatre, which was an incredible experience. We had seats, but there were lots of people standing and almost leaning on the stage. It was very hot and one of the ushers fainted, and had to be carried out. At the end of the performance they announced that she was fine!
Another very hot day here, so I’m about to head outside with my book and sit in the shade under the parasol, in the garden. Enjoy your Thursday.
