We returned home to London with just enough time to get our feet under us before we got to enjoy a lovely spurt of visitors.
First was Miss Ariel.
While dreaming about having visitors I mentioned to Reed that Ariel's bucket list included attending a Premier league match. Within the week Reed had found a way to get tickets, within 24hrs of receiving this information, I had Ariel's flight info in my inbox. We had a packed 5 days with 2 football matches, the British Library, a jaunt to Greenwich and eating our way through the Borough Market.
Oh, and the sun shone all week. It was perfect.
We also enjoyed...
|
runs through Hyde Park |
|
Walking the town |
|
And some yummy desserts. |
Next up...Bonnie and Aaron. It was fantastic to have one of our favorite couples in town. We completely ditched real life to enjoy our time together.
|
They picked up some random kiddos at the British Museum |
|
We celebrated Chinese New Year's in Chinatown and then enjoyed Les Mis. Which, I must say, was quite good. The vocals were impressive and the pacing kept you completely engaged. |
|
Quick stop for a little magic |
|
More vagabonds attached themselves to Miss Bonnie |
|
We can validate the timeless nature of Stonehenge. It never gets old :) |
|
Right before I was accosted by a shamman who instructed me on the finer points of energy flows traced via her goat staff. Pure awesomeness. |
|
The boys slipped away for a match. |
|
While the girls enjoyed an evening at the bookstore and then met up with the boys for a cozy dinner out. |
Good friends, great food and a little sun went a long way towards closing out a long, dark winter and getting us ready for spring!
