All The Fun Of The.........Fete?
Today has been a great day, but it had its ups and downs!!
We were in London for the Innocent Village Fete in Regent's Park. Innocent are a client of mine so we were sent tickets and passes to the VNP (Very Nice People) area - free food and drink etc etc.
So we boarded a train at Portslade at 9:15am and arrived at Victoria at 10:30. We decided we would walk the two miles or so to Regent's Park as we had the buggy and did not fancy fighting our way on the tube - its also been blimin' hot today!
Unfortunately the buggy got a puncture, so we ended up having to walk all the way to Selfridges to buy a puncture repair kit and a pump. Then Vic's shoes broke, so we had to go and buy a new pair. Then Charlotte broke Vic's sunglasses, although Vic did not buy another pair today. So we eventually made it to the Fete by 1:00pm!!
Even that was not without incident. However, as hopefully the children will look back on this in years to come, all I will say is that the people from Innocent were absolutely fantastic in tracking down a certain someone who left us for about 15 minutes!!!!
Anyway, we got home at about 7:15pm having had a great day. Here are the pics!
Mmmmm, free food.
On the 'train'.
The VNP area - spot the fruit hanging form the trees.

And yet you managed to survive! Well done to you all. Hope the weather holds until we get there.
Wish the weather was good up here in Scotland, it has rained ALL day. Oh the pain oflosing a child, even for a few minutes, never mind 15. Remember when Andrew was lost in Italy?
