Above: Height challenged tourists ride London Eye without theirs open. Remarkably efficient set-up, helped cos we booked on line - in to 3D 4 min movie and into eye queue and out again all in 45 mins despite 000s of people. £61 for us (a family pass + 2 kids, good discount cos adults on their own are £27).
Above: At Cleopatra's Needle on Feb 21 - this is the Not-Nice Sphinx from the kids' novel Stoneheart, the first of the book's statues we've seen - we intend to spot all 10 or so of them.
Top right: if you look closely you can see Rosa and Phil, outside Buckingham Palace on Saturday Feb 27. And the rest of the crew at the palace, right; and Ellie on the London Eye the same day.

Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteWow you are doing so much stuff. The London eye looks really cool. We are enjoying a fairly warm feb/march which is nice although have to say tomoato season was pretty dismal. Cricket is nearly finished and rugby registrations were last week. Mike and Oli did the Bike the trail last weeekend but it was shortened due to the tsunami warning from the Chile earthquake, in fact that day ended up a bit of a distaster really as the Kea/Cub/scout/ water day at St James was also cancelled due to the tsunami warning. Hope all going well. Alison
