Jackson and Lachy.....











They are really starting to become good play buddies now.....well....most of the time. And Lachy still loves putting stickers on his face!! Not quite sure what that is about!!

One day in London....
















We managed to squeeze one day of London in, there was so much to see it wasn't really enough time but we had a 2 hour drive each way. We did the touristy bus tour which visited all the spots to be seen. Kids loved the bus with no roof up top!!

Visit to Windsor to see Ian, Juliette, Max and Daisy







We had a great day with our friends Ian and Juliette and their 2 kids Max and Daisy who we met at Boussagou in France. Max is very similar in age to Jackson and we all had a great time. They live in Windsor and took us to a great Italian restaurant (and with 4 kids it was well planned to go to a kid friendly restaurant!!) Went for a walk around Windsor and did a boat trip up the river Thames.

Quick Trip to Stone Henge




Stone Henge was only about a 2 hour drive each way from Stratford-Upon-Avon so we went there one afternoon.

Stratford-Upon-Avon











Gorgeous town...we stayed here for 2 weeks. Discovered an Aquaduct which went across the road .

Woburn Safari Park
























































This was the coolest zoo!! It was a safari park that you drive through in your car. The funniest part was going through the monkey park and the monkeys were sitting on the tops of peoples cars!

Goodwood Festival of Speed in England






















Spent the whole day there and even I enjoyed myself....didn't think spending a day looking at racing cars was going to be loads of fun, but there was so much to look at. The highlight was the 20 minute air display that we saw as we were just leaving. Check out the big love heart the jets made in the sky!! Was a 2 hour trip there and a 6 and 1/2 hour trip home due to an accident (actually there were about 3) on the motorway.
