A Day Trip to London



Last week I spent my day off dashing up and down to London with Mister E. Talk about exhaustion afterwards. Five hours of train travel and four hours pounding the urban pavements of our capital city certainly take their toll on you (not to mention the couple of hours of fine dining!).

Visiting the big city is always such a contrast to home: noise and vibrancy compared to peace and quiet. We may only have been away for a day but it still makes everything seem so strange when you arrive home with its traffic free roads, lack of people and the fields with cows and sheep.

Hopefully we'll get the opportunity for a lot more days like that over the next few years, especially if, as seems likely, the eldest or youngest ends up living there.
