Molly at the beach

Amanda and Greg sent us this great video of Molly playing on the beach — looks like she’s fit, healthy and having a great time, although I’m not to sure about drinking salt-water!

Mudlarking on the Thames

The Thames is a very tidal river, going up and down by several metres as the tide comes in and out. For the first time we found somewhere you could actually get down to walk on the bank itself while the tide was right out. It was fascinating just picking

The Tate Modern

A grand day out

This will be a post in several parts, but for the short version, we’ve just come back from a wonderful day out.  We set off early this morning to the Borough Markets, then wandered down the southbank of the Thames over the rest of the day stopping to visit
