London calling

Dear Ella,

So I finally braved up and went away for the weekend - hope that was OK with you.  As it happens you kind of came with me.  I went to London and of course you were everywhere.

Your love of London started about eight years ago - when you, me and Sophie began setting off on our mini London adventure's - a few days just hanging out - sightseeing, walking around, a bit of culture - a theatre trip, exhibition etc and always lots of shopping!  I went back to some your favourite spots - the South Bank, Tate Modern (didn't venture in for any of those weird and scary installation viewings), Millennium Bridge, Regent Street, Uniqlo (not a great Spring collection in my view), Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abby (only outside this time) and plenty of eating treats.  I got "London Feet" - which made me smile, you always got really bad "London Feet" and would groan and moan, but cheer up after a drink and cake stop.

Of course you went on to have London adventures without me and Sophie in tow and went up for some modelling assignments as well.  I still laugh thinking about the day we came with you to meet one of the agencies that were keen to find you assignments - you were told to practice wearing high shoes, by wearing them round the house to do domestic chores like washing up, vacuuming etc!  LAUGH,  I nearly cried - "domestic chores" - never your forte, always easier to sit and watch me and Sophie running round doing them.  So you never really practiced walking in high shoes - as it turns out, didn't really matter.

Thanks for all those great times in London memories and for coming with me again this weekend.

Lots of love

Mum
