Gloria and Her Babies

No, I know she won't thank me for this, but this was absolutely the funniest moment of the day. We went to the Big Smoke to meet Gloria, Jack, Neil and Sandi for lunch. We had our very own room and a brilliant lunch / afternoon. We did presents, I got huuuuuge cookery books to carry around with me for the rest of the day, Will got a watch which, 24 hours on, he continues to be delighted with. Gloria had prepared photo books for presents, this was the one she gave Neil and Sandi. The first third of the book showed the expected photos of the happy day in October when Gloria and Jack got married, the rest of the book was filled with pictures of fat, ugly, stranger babies!! No idea where they came from, we did laugh.

After lunch which lasted to a healthy 5pm, we waved goodbye to everyone and went to our London Hotel with my mum and dad. And ohhhh, It was brilliant! We were staying in the Premier Inn next to the Olympic stadium. It is right in the shopping centre which was packed still at 8pm. It felt so unusual it was like actually being on holiday. We did a bit of shopping but the got a little overwhelmed with the whole exotic nature so went for a drink in the Bar de Premier Inn which provided exactly the type of peace we needed. Really, it was crazy!

This was Will's first time staying in a hotel. He was delighted with the whole experience, especially the lobby vending machines....
