UK!!!

We made it!! And we're loving our holiday in England so far. Emma was fantastic on the plane - she wanted to sleep on me which made me uncomfortable but things could've been a lot worse. Our stop over in Singapore was a dream - swimming, sleeping and showering without leaving the airport - courtesy of an airport hotel.

We were greeted at the airport by Grandma Janet & John so first stop London. Janet has gone all out for Emma finding lots of cool retro toys up in the loft that Daddy use to play with as well as buying some other treasures like a tea-set and a dollies pushchair etc. Our first couple of days in London the weather was gorgeous so we enjoyed it by visiting parks, swimming, picnics etc. Aunty Jo and cousin Maia came to visit from Portsmouth on Monday - it was great finally meeting Maia. There's only 6 months between Maia and Emma and they've become great pals - copying each other and playing beautifully.

This last weekend we headed to Lincoln and caught up with Grandad and Aunty Deborah and Jo, Pat and Maia came too - so it was a great family time. Tim & Deborah live in the country and have a huge garden with a wendy house so the girls had a blast.

On the way to Lincoln we also called into Ely to visit Rob's Nan. We're always greeted there with a cup of tea, sandwiches and cakes. Emma loved meeting her Great Nan and they became friends very easily. We also visited Nan's sister Norma and son Rodney and crazy licky Suzy the dog.

So we're having a grand time - the weathers taken a turn for the worse but the thing I love about the rain is that it's just an excuse to go shopping!!! (Enough said... )
