Up and out the hotel by 10.00am, left the car and walked to London Borough Market, didn’t take too long and it was a lovely warm day so was enjoyable. Got to the market and it was a better version of the Indoor Market at Oxford – it was actually great, loads of free samples of cheeses and hams and that and we went to town on many of the items!
Everyone got something to eat for breakfast although I didn’t as I want to lose some weight and today is when I am starting! We continued walking round and taking it all in and then walked over the the Shard. We weren’t prepared to pay for the viewing option of about £25 per ticket so intended to go to the Aqua Shard restaurant and bar but when we went to the reception we were turned away because of Jack having trainers and casual trousers on.
Didn’t make a fuss and left, quite disappointing really.
Had a coffee in Starbucks outside and then walked back along the river taking in the sights on the way, lovely that was. I like that walk along the South Bank. Made our way back to the hotel and then drove home around 2.00pm. The kids were knackered and slept the way home.
Got back, unpacked and I had a snooze before we relaxed around the house and then had dinner in the evening. Charlotte went over to Miles and Lewis went skipping in Birmingham, Tash and I watched the last x2 episodes of the first series of House of Cards – excellent viewing!
Bed at 11.00pm!
