GETTING AROUND LONDON

In the first week Mark & the kids had a day at the Tower of London & another at Big Ben & the Houses of Parliament.  We also went to carols at St Martin in the Field & heard the Welsh male rugby club choir, the National Opera Chorus, a virtuoso violinist & a school choir interspersed with our singing!


Because the pre–Christmas house hunting was not  producing many houses to see we had time on our hands so we all headed up to see the kids’ school.  While it is VERY small, it is bright, friendly & well resourced & the kids both came away saying they liked it.  They then spent another day doing assessments to work out whether they should be in 4 or 5 (W) & 6 or7 (A).  William was confirmed in Year 4 & went back for a second day while Aisha tried out the senior campus & came away confirming she was happier in year 7 because there were things she didn't know.  We bought some quite expensive uniforms & the ids counted down the days to the end of their holidays until 5 January for the start of term 2.
