They are real life, real scenes with the colours and flavours of the neighbourhoods you visited. I love your photos; so detailed and vivid, I feel like I can almost touch those cobblestones and taste the Italian gelati or smell the bread and those donuts! What a magnificent photograph! I am still marvelling where on earth a shop can sell so many donuts and cakes in one day! They must do a huge trade...but what am I saying? That's London!<br />Take care and enjoy Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-79798403067199444552015-08-02T05:18:54.033+10:002015-08-02T05:18:54.033+10:00We live 30 miles from London and visit often; your...We live 30 miles from London and visit often; your photos are fantastic!

From my experience of travelling with kids, I think it's good for them to have a snapshot of a place - they'll want to explore it for themselves when they are older. Have fun.

I wore my fitness tracker last time, we arrived in London around midday and were there until 7pm, including two of those hours spent sat in restaurants... i still did 28000 steps and that was a relaxed 'go wherever we feel like' kind of day. It is tiring! i couldn't imagine trying to fit it into such a short time, I've lived so close for 25 years and there is still SO much I haven't seenClareiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00080938392894889279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-31861178763272946102015-07-30T22:33:47.009+10:002015-07-30T22:33:47.009+10:00So inspiring, you have me very excited for travel!...So inspiring, you have me very excited for travel!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04879883886751296492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-39699008858147745612015-07-30T22:31:41.297+10:002015-07-30T22:31:41.297+10:00Gotta love London!

I totally think that you couldn't possibly do London any other way - just smashing it out and loving it all and taking the tears and tanties where they fall. Your girls are glorious, though. Such troupers, I am so impressed. Also, with the always-neat plaits. xMaxabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761220164069379437noreply@blogger.com
