Just a few words and a bunch of photos (many thanks Elizabeth!) about the weekend. We had a three day weekend for the Spring Bank Holiday and spent it hanging out in Blackheath and Canary Wharf. On Saturday we met up with the Dunnes at Starbucks on the Wharf and went to the motor show. I found the perfect first car for Tobes - the G-Wiz. It has a top speed of 40mph and can go only 40 miles before needing to recharge. Sounds perfect for a teenage boy.
On Sunday we stayed in Blackheath, flew kites on the heath and had lunch at Cafe Rouge. For the bank holiday Monday we had planned a picnic on the heath and a visit to the fun fair with Elizabeth, Andrew and Mary Catherine. The day dawned cold, windy and a bit wet but we were very English about it and dutifully spread our blankets on the damp ground, ate our picnic and laughed at ourselves. Our perseverence paid off and soon the sun was out which made it all worthwhile. We even got the kites out.
We warmed up with hot drinks at Costa then went over to the fun fair. The children had a brilliant time going on the bouncy castle, riding rides and playing a fishing game. They both won a prize and you can see from the photo of Tobes and MC with their prizes that they were well and truly worn out from the day.
Our exit was perfectly timed because within seconds of getting into the car the heavens opened and it started to hail. Mother Nature was obviously on our side.
