London -second stop

Left rainy Edinburgh for sunny London. Found that it was a lot warmer yet again. We still hadn't learnt our lesson and were overdressed again. Managed to navigate our way to the tube station to catch a train to Winchester. Battling with  2 suitcases was not fun for hubby but he managed to carry both up and down stairs without complaint. After an hour of seeing the English countryside we arrived to a quiet country station.

Admired the small quaint town of Winchester; walked past Jane Austen's house and the amazing Winchester cathedral. Seeing the cathedral and hearing the history was one of the highlights of the trip I must say. Will's friend also introduced me to duck confit and cassoulet with potato gratin. So good, annoyed that my taste buds are turned off red wine.

Once back to London, I had 2 instances of pregnancy brain moments.  We bought day tickets on the tube and about an hour into our journey I lost my ticket. Lost all ticket holding privileges after that. Checked out the biggest toy store Hamleys where we bought our first teddy for our bub. Hubby was getting rather nostalgic about it all. I couldn't believe the number of demonstrators on hand to show you how the toys worked. Also made it to Harrods where we contemplated getting a baby outfit but the price tags were out of this world expensive so we opted for Baby Gap instead.

With all the walking taking a strain on my back, my good friend Kirsty booked me in for a massage. The best 45 mins ever, took all the stress out of my back. Poor hubby, he has been my on call masseuse for the last few months so this was the only time off he got. Second stupid moment was somehow managing to drop my wallet on the street after my massage and was lucky to have some good Samaritan return it to the physio place. Lost wallet holding privileges as well.



Checked out Richmond in the rain, crazy weather here whilst my friends went ring shopping. Funny how the little arguments about guest lists are universal for all couples getting married. We caught a performance of pyjama men at Soho and as it was the same night as the Euro vision song contest, London was alive and buzzing with drunkards on the tube.

Off to Nice and Cannes and hopefully some better weather, can't wait.
