We have been in London one week now which I can hardly belive. There have been a few frustrating moments - the usual teething problems such as sporadic hot water, zero water pressure, no washing machine, faulty dryer, faulty dishwasher, eating off plastic plates, boiling the water for a cup of tea in a saucepan etc etc. But all first world problems really and they are being sorted out day by day.
After telling the kids that squirrels are everywhere in London, we have failed to see one despite looking in all the right places. Above is Cannizaro Gardens in Wimbeldon, stunning but not a squirrel in site and yesterday we walked through Green Park near Buckingham Palace and nothing!
The kids were keen to hit the tourist spots yesterday which included M&M world, Picadilly Circus, Hamleys and Oxford St. Back into the West End on Friday night to see the musical Matilda which is apparently fantastic.
Tomorrow we will visit Charlotte's school, Wimbledon Ursuline Preparatory School and find out about the uniform etc. Charli will (most likely) start school on Monday 3rd June.
Squirrels are so cute and rare sounding to Australians in the UK, but I don't think the Brits care too much for them. They've got to be better than possums, those messy, madcap marsupials!
