Some more piccys (FINALLY!)

Hello all!

Well, we have finally managed to organise ourselves so that we have camera, AND USB cable, AND time to put some more photos on the blog.


Sorry for the delay!

First photo is my fav. We found the NZ memorial in Hyde Park corner. It kinda looks very average from a distance, but then you go up close to it and it is really pretty cool. All these stories and images on them. I quite liked it!



The next ones are from the same day when we found the Royal Albert Hall and the Royal Albert Memorial. OMG. The Memorial is pretty UGLY! sooooo over the top!

Oh, and can you spot Alex standing in front of the hall?

On other news, school is going okay. Finally got my own classroom as of Wednesday just been. It has not been much fun trying to teach in ten billion other classrooms. Never mind. Had a meet the parents evening for my form class which was nerve wracking, but ended up being quite good. I even had parents tell me they enjoyed it, and that their boys were lucky to have me as their teacher. Certainly made me feel good!!!
Alex is still job hunting. The head of Computing at school gave him an IT job website to look at, and in a few days he has had phone calls and emails about jobs. So that is promising!!!
We are about to go and explore Hampstead. Last weekend we got lost on the Heath. I am sure that someone switched North and South around!!!! :)
This weekend we are going to explore the shops.
Love to all.
P(mainly) and LX(who is looking at jobs...)

You got the wrong step on the Albert Memorial! Your Mother and Aunty Lois sat on a much lower step for my photo years ago. Is Alex third from the right in front of the Albert Hall?

Hi Guys,

Great to hear about your travels and see your pics. Makes me a bit homesick for good old London, have a beer and a curry for me. There is a great tea and cake shop in Hampstead, I highly recommend it.
Hope you are in a good school and the kids well behaved. I am enjoying holidays, YAY.

Take care,

Fiona and Matt

Sorry Dad!

Never mind. Yes, you did find Alex :) Almost like wheres Wally... opps, don't tell Alex I said that...
hehehe.
And Fiona!
Hello!!!!! I will head to the Pub after school today and have a pint for you. And I am sure I can convince Alex to join me in a good curry!!!
Which cake shop in Hampstead? Was it one on the main road? or on a side street? We have found one which makes REALLY good bread and cakes and things. And I try to justify walking up the hill (phew!) earns me some treat. :)
Hope school is treating you well, and the new house is good!
Love to you and Matt!!!
