Matilda and London

Got up early this morning as there were items I needed to get sorted so that I could relax for the next couple of days whilst I wasn’t intending to work. So up at about 6.30am and worked through until 10.00am and closed down the laptop. Nice breakfast and then we finished whatever we were all doing and drove off to London

It was nice all of us together and the kids get on so well, although Jack is a pain in the arse at the minute they still chat and laugh together.

We got to London about 1.30pm and managed to park in the hotel car park in the last space available, chucked our bags in and then went off walking towards Covent Garden. Went past the London Eye and too some good photos of the lovely views and then did some shopping around Covent Garden. The kids did well and found things they wanted, I did less well, although I wasn’t really looking.

We made it to Oxford Street and then came back on ourselves for 5.00pm where we went to the Inamo restaurant which had interactive menus and screens for you to be able to order. A bit of a gimmick but good fun and the food was lovely, if not quite enough to fill us up but the taste was excellent. When we’d finished there we went to the Cambridge Theatre for the showing of Matilda.

I have been looking forward to this for some time and wasn’t disappointed, it was a close fitting with the story in the film and was good fun. Very enjoyable and we all thought it was good. Finished around 10.00pm so we walked back to the hotel and had an early night. Knackered!

Really enjoyed today, it’s lovely being with all the family together
