Did all yours sleep in?

After such a livley day, my little one didn't even sleep on the train, so when my son came to pick us up from the station I said I bet she'll fall asleep as soon as she gets in, and she'll sleep in tomorrow...wrong, she never went to sleep until after 8.30. and was up again this morning at 7 O'clock !! She hasn't stopped talking about the picnic though, she loved going in the London cabs, and the train, and she remembers most of the childrens names, she keeps talking about them to her Mum as if she knows them. She seems to have a real soft spot for Chris Houselander too, but then again don't we all:)))

Glad she had a good time..

Hi Lynda No, My 2 went to bed about 9:30 and was up about 7:30, Glad you G/Daughter had a lovely time, we all did too and it was nice of the rain not to decided to fall till we were leaving. Julie ~~~~~ to Linda & Polly

Hiya Ladies :)) Linda you don't need children to come to the picnic, you can have your pick of the ones there to 'adopt' for the day lol. Christine only brought Viv with her, well I suppose you could say she was a big kid:)) but Christine also pushed my little on the swing for ages. Maybe we should have our London meet in the park, if it's late October or early November, the weather should be warmer :)))

Hi Lynda, My 3 went to bed earlier and got up later! I had a great lie in! Even after they were awake, They watched tv in their room so not to wake me up. Bless em! They had a great day. Loved every minute of it. K was telling her dad this morning all about the taxi! Pat x

Glad everything went well yesterday!! Thought about you all Love Helenxx

It was fabulous thank you Helen:)) David wasn't there because we told him we were in Hyde park, but were in fact in Regents Park:)))

Oooppppsss was that meant to happen? lol Glad it went well, i prayed for good weather for you all

Yes we planned it that way:)) David would want all the attention, and the kids would have been left out. Do you know how much attention he wants Helen? Loads & loads:))

Well it was for the children was'nt it!! LOL he wanted to be the biggest!! :))

Glad you had a good day, was the weather good then? Deanna X

Hi Deanna :)) The weather was o.k, bit windy at times, but the children never noticed, it didn't rain, until we left the park. No wonder Maz chooses Regents park for the meet, it had a lovely tea wagon there, which sold healthy food, not a burger to be seen:)) The toilets in the play park could only be used by children, or adults with a child, and they were cleaned throughout the day. Really safe place for the children, my little one loved it, and I could see her playing all of the time, lovely for he to have a bit of space without me breathing down her neck all the time:)))

Glad to hear everyone had a wonderful time and the weather cooperated. I was thinking of you all. Deb

I wish!!! I gave in and went to sleep before Adam, and he woke us up at 7am this morning!

Horrible child :-))

Mind you it meant we were up, breakfasted and on our way to Kensington Palace nice and early, so much so we even got time to go the the British Museum after.

Thanks Deb :))) Yvette, my little one has been to sleep twice today, so it did get to her eventually:)) How did you enjoy the British Museum? I used to go there every Saturday, when at school, loved the place, could walk there, or bus it easily, so really on the doorstep. Going in a few weeks, anything I must see?

I'm not suprised Lynda, i don't think she stopped all afternoon, lol.....she was delightful.

As for the Museum, it was my first visit in about 15 years and has changed so much. Sadly it was packed with tourists which meant it was hard to get round, but nice to see so many people interested in their/our history.

My favourite was the Celtic/Roman displays, Mal's was the African...and it was stunning, as for Adam, he loved the Egyptian displays.

Thanks Yvette, my favourite thing there used to be 'Ginger' the skeleton of a man, from way back, forget the story to him, but always thought how sad it was he wasn't buried. So evertime I went there I popped in to see him. I expect he's still there, maybe he will recognise me when I go back:))))

Do you mean the bog man..or Lindow man as they now call him? if so yes he is still there. I have to say he is aging far better than i am....lol

Could be Yvette, but he was known as Ginger, because he had a little tuft of reddish hair :) You look far better than him, believe me:))
