A sunny day in Greenwich Park 2/2/2014

Just for once it wasn't raining, so along with the rest of London we set off for Greenwich Park

I could stand and look at those views all day. The skyline has changed a lot over the last 20 odd years and I wish I had some photos to compare.

The Cutty Sark.

The Cutty Sark has now been completely rebuilt. The bottom of boat is now undercover, I can understand why,but it means you can only see the top of the boat from a distance. It also costs £13 to go on board so we gave it a miss.

We had a wander down through the park down to the river.

The Shard dominates the skyline

  

The whole area around the Cutty Sark has been tarted up now. I think they did it for the Olympics. There is also a lot of building going on so some of the area looks really messy.

On the way back we went into the Old Royal Naval College. Absolutely incredible. All the times we've been to Greenwich and walked past this little gem

These photos don't do it justice.

This one was on the ceiling. They have charts to show you who's who in the paintings. All free.

The ship in a bottle was outside the Maritime Museum.

Some of the buildings had free entry so we are going to go back during the week when it's quieter. 

Abigail's Birthday Celebrations. January 2014

So our little princess Abigail is now 10 years old. 

We all went over to Emma's on Sunday for the "family do" James and Aimee were there with little Henry. It was the first time we'd seen him. He is a dear little thing and he made sure he kept awake to join in the fun.The family is growing so its a good job Emma has a large table! 

 Abigail was quite excited,especially as someone gave her cash

Hmmmm, what shall I spend this on ?

          

We bought some Lego and in no time at all it was all over the floor . So many little pieces.

         

       

         She also got a furry Kindle cover, at least I think that's what it was! We also bought her a few clothes which I think she liked

Beautiful girl 

 A lovely afternoon, Abigail made some cakes with her cup cake maker,which were delish. We also had a traditional cake for the obligatory candles

                                

                 All out in one go.🎂

  

Well done birthday girl.
