Welsh Greetings

Hi All
Back in not so sunny Wales after a sojourn in London with Lucy Grace.
Was fabulous to catch up with Lucy - and her friend Maddie - on this side of the world.
We met, as arranged, at Kings Cross station at 1p.m. I went back to their hotel to drop off my gear and then we headed to Camden to check out the markets. Had only been in Camden 5 mins when both Lucy and Maddie made their first - of MANY - purchases. Spent a couple of hours wandering the maze of markets before heading to Trafalgar Square, one of my favourite places in London. We then strolled along the Mall toward Buck Palace but turned off toward Regent Street. Passed through Piccadilly circus and then walked up Regent Street to Hamley's, the world's greatest toy store. We spent a good bit of time there looking for gifts for family and finally came away happy with the purchases made. It was then time to take the shopping home. We picked up some pizza and beer near the hotel and returned to "our" room. After dinner, Lucy gave us a fashion parade of her new purchases, we all had our turn in the bathroom and finally it was bedtime.
Friday was a glorious day! After breakfast we headed to the Post Office so the girls could lighten their luggage by sending excess baggage home. What an entertaining time that was. Once all the post was sorted, we set off toward London Bridge for the girls to visit The London Dungeon. When we arrived the waiting queue was about 2hrs so we left it behind and set off to The London Eye. We walked along The South Bank passing Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and The Tait Modern and taking in the sights of tourists enjoying possibly the last of the summer. While Lucy and Maddie took in the views of London from "The Eye", I sat and enjoyed the sunshine. It was then off to see the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. From there, we caught a bus to Victoria and then another to Holborn to visit the British Museum. Then it was time to head back to the hotel. The girls needed to rest and I needed to collect my bag and return to Wales.
It was sad to say Goodbye but it had been wonderful to spend that time with Lucy. I look forward to her next visit to this side of the world because she has promised me she will come to Wales - and I'm holding her to it!
Sounds like all is well in Australia. Fantastic news from Steve about Michael. Must be such a relief for all the Kennedy clan.
Thanks for the Christmas list Mum and Kate. If there's anything in particular you want Annie and Steve, please let us know.
Shall end my rambling for now.
Love to all, Moo xxxxx
