the last 8 days

In the last 8 days we have travelled down to London where we spent a very enjoyable Christmas with YKW's family.  Then, on Thursday, we travelled up to my parents.  We will be flying back up to Glasgow on Wednesday.

London was great; amongst other things we had an early Christmas present of afternoon tea at a very posh hotel, we visited 'The First Emperor: China's Terracotta Army' at The British Museum, and we had a meal at one of the loveliest steak restaurants that I have been to in the UK.  Since coming up here we have done some shopping in the sales, we've had all 3 brothers with all 3 female companions plus Mum and Dad in the same place for the first time in ages, and today it's my grandparent's 57th wedding anniversary for which I cooked a meal.

So a pretty full schedule and I'm looking forward to a couple more days relaxing and beginning to get my head back into gear for the work that I need to get on with as soon as we hit the ground in Glasgow.  But it will be good to get back and there's lots to look forward to getting on with.
