London - Final Days

 
Ollie all smiles outside 'Hanks' - he finally has his new guitar!

 
Had a couple of slow days to catch up on things and give the boys some time to do some correspondence school.
Chris and I had a dinner out at a local restaurant in Kings Cross, 'TED'.
Was really nice, quite London-like - full , loud and squashed, but at the same time small and friendly too.

Took the boys for a stroll through  Chinatown and Leicester Square (after picking up Ollie's guitar).




Chinatown - Jarvis jumping the bollards(their new street entertainment)
By mistake we came across the Leicester Square 'M&M' store - which must be quite a big deal (the shop assistant couldn't believe it was my first time - I couldn't believe it was my time at all). Such an odd thing - everything you could imagine M&M (as if M&M imagery is good to start with). Well at least it interested the boys - Lachlan the most(there were M&Ms to buy! - every colour imaginable in separate huge vertical containers(that spill out too many into your bag for purchase - off course)).
The boys came home happy that day. They got to see a open air performance in Leicester square too (they were particularly impressed that the guy got his top off - it was really cold).




Ollie - This is Leciester Square

  1. How can you have a shop devoted to M&Ms

  2. In these photos you've really captured the moods of your boys. I just love love love the one with Jarvis jumping the bollards and Lachlan in the foreground oblivious! Happy days.

    The Globe Theatre are touring around the Globe and are putting on Hamlet in Wellington in June. I'm taking Karina as she's interested. The Globe Theatre would be on my Top10 list to see when I get back to London.
