If there was a day to be spending tucked up in the lap of
luxury, today was the day. It rained
from dawn ‘til dusk, which really didn’t bother us as we weren’t in London to
see the sights – we were here to see Steve.
We’d arranged to meet Steve in the foyer to go for breakfast in the
hotel dining room at 9am. We’d been up
early again, blogging, messaging and speaking to the kids on facetime. Talked
to Brody and Kate and Briana, with all being good, although Briana has only
just got over the flu. Brody and Kate
had moved bedrooms and cleaned thoroughly and had their room looking great.
At 9am, we met Steve as arranged and wandered into
breakfast. As some of you may be aware, when we travel, I have a rather large
appetite and this morning was no exception. We sat and ate and conversed for a
couple of hours. That’s one of the best things about coming to see Steve, we
always find things to talk about and in between mouthfuls, this was the case.
Steve went back to his flat while we made use of the
excellent wifi to check out google maps for options out of the city tomorrow and
to work out what ferry we would be catching.
We don’t want to book a ferry however as we know how fickle life on the
road can be and don’t want to put undue pressure on ourselves. In the early afternoon, we donned our rain
jackets and walked quickly into Ealing to meet Steve. We spent the next few hours just sitting in
the warmth of a cozy pub, drinking and talking, with a little bit of football
watching on the big screen to accompany it.
From here it was back to the hotel, in the still, pouring
rain, for our evening meal, which was really enjoyable. Altogether, a very lazy
day, but full of memories, laughs and fun.
