She's here!

At last, after counting down the sleeps, Mum has landed and is ensconced in our little abode! She had a decent flight and no troubles and was very glad to arrive. James was sooo happy to see her - his face lit up! Our drive to Heathrow was only 20minutes - very convenient.

So after a shower and light lunch we suggested a wee walk around our new home. We took Mum on the now familiar route of past Bachelor's Acre, up Brook Street past the artichokes, onto the Long Walk and past our gate, up Park Street and on to the Castle to show Ninny the boom gates and bollards, then James fell asleep. No wonder after only 20mins nap at home! Mum, Martin and I had an ice cream and walk along the Thames then wound our way home.

After a little while at home, Mum, James and I went down to Bachelor's Acre to see if the water fountain was on. As James peered into the fountain the fountain started up! He jumped and yelled and laughed lots! We spent an hour and a half just sitting watching James with his watering can. Such fun! He was in his speedos, sunscreen and hat and had a ball!

It's now 9pm and Mum and I are going to head out for a walk, just around the block as it's quite warm inside and Martin is watching the World Cup.

Busy day tomorrow! Off to Fleet and certainly more adventures!
