Sunday

When Rob first moved out of home as a fresh faced 20 year old he shared a flat with his mate Dave. I can only imagine the mess that was in Rob’s room, but I love the story that Dave had a Wall Street poster in his room. He worked hard, really hard and eventually made his way to London for work. I have only met Dave a couple of times over the years – in Sydney on a few big nights pre marriage/kids and at his wedding to his most gorgeous and lovely wife. They have lived here for almost 16 years now…officially English with kids at School and proper accents and everything.

Today we had the absolute pleasure of spending the day with him and his family – he was so generous with his time and  came and picked us up for a tour around town – a quick trip to the gallery, to the Horse guards, past Westminster & Big Ben before heading just 20 minutes out of town to the most wonderful village called Denham for lunch. After lunch we hightailed it to Kensington Palace for a wander and a play in the most fabulous kids playground (Diana Memorial Playground) where all the kids had the very best time together. It was so wonderful to see a couple of old mates catching up, to see our kids have a great time together, to be in this wonderful city soaking up all it had to offer.

I did a quick snatch and grab at Wholefoods (I FINALLY got to go into a Wholefoods!!) to pick up dinner and we all arrived home filled to the brim with happiness and good times. The girls are asleep, I think jet lag may have finally pissed off and tomorrow we start on our Scottish adventure.

London, you have been marvellous. And just quietly…I am having the BEST time. And lastly? If you have kids and are in London…you HAVE to get to this park.
