11 days, fully inclusive 😀

Great start to the trip. St Pancras for 5.30, most expensive bubbles in the world at 5.37.

Then upgraded to Business Premier. Three course meal, plus wine, which with the bottle of bubbles we had with us resulted in Alice’s first exclamation to Charlie….”We’re smashed!”

Not big or clever 😂

Mabel is 9 and growing up quickly. Knows her own mind and strong willed. Still loving and thoughtful though. Friends are now very important. I love Mabel’s sociability and capability to talk to anyone no matter what age. Great confidence which with wisdom will take her far.

Needless to say I am very proud of her and love her unreservedly. Alice would say too unreservedly 😀.

As always happens children stop seeing you as faultless and see you as humanly flawed. But only from their limited experience of course. It takes many years before they see and understand the whole picture. Of why you are who you are.

Also first day of school! So presents on breakfast table ready to go.

Airbnb in Brancaster, beautiful ground floor apartment.

Lunch on way at The Hoste Burnham Market.

Bear at The White Horse Brancaster Staithe. Fabulous location.

Morning run along Peddar’s Way

Bruce again. Amazing as always. Maybe the last hurrah. Great day, seemed to have lost use of my legs at the end of the day….so Uber home 😀

With Shania

Mabel running 2k. Happy to do it as long as she has a friend and can talk all the way 😀

Trip to Llangollen, Birthday number 65…apparently Elderly!
