A bit of a week of contradictions, really. Fortnum and Mason's morning tea on Tuesday and then I joined Weight Watchers on Wednesday. Don't know what the WW leader would have had to say about our morning tea - I had a black forest cake and hot chocolate (with real chocolate) and Christine had two strudels and a toffeecino (mainly whipped cream). Still it was lots of fun.
Then we went to the V&A in the afternoon, only to discover that the dolls' houses Chrissie wanted to see are actually at the Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green now. Still we enjoyed the fashion and jewellery exhibits - some amazing stuff on display, including 200 and 300-year-old shoes for women with tiny feet. People were smaller in general then, I guess.
That evening we went to see Mamma Mia, also good fun. I really enjoyed just being out in town at night - a rarity with two small people in the house but something that definitely needs repeating - and SOON!
It's been lots of fun having Chrissie to stay. Unfortunately for her though, Sofia has taken to waking up at 5.30 now that it gets light so early, which isn't the best. She came to see us at 5.45 and we weren't that thrilled to see her either.
I’m a writer and a mum of two young people. The tiger safari remains on hold, and most of my trekking takes place near Lake Hawea and Wanaka in New Zealand.

I expect the WW leader would be speechless - probably due to a mouthful of whipped cream
