First Sunday in London/Erster Sonntag in London


We did familiar things last Sunday, due to children's requests: St. Patrick's Church in Soho for Mass, Pret for lunch, and Victoria & Albert Museum for "entertainment" (work for Peter because he needed to prepare something there for the students; they are arriving this week).  It was a pleasant day. 




Am Sonntag haben wir uns bekannte Dinge getan, die sich die Kinder gewünscht haben: Messe bei St. Patrick in Soho, Pret zum Mittagessen und das Victoria & Albert Museum zur "Unterhaltung" (für Peter war das Vorbereitungsarbeit für die Studenten, die diese Woche kommen).  Wir hatten einen schönen Tag.    

Pret a Manger

 We checked out a backpack about Ancient China.
Wir haben uns einen Rucksack über das chinesische Altertum ausgeliehen.

  1. Lovely photos, looks like Flora in particular enjoyed her time at the museum. Aren't kids back packs a really great idea?! I have been enjoying Charlotte's stories on Instagram :-) xx

    1. She loved it! It was just the right level and length for her. Those backpacks are particularly well done. They are pretty and high quality. I am glad you are enjoying Charlotte's stories :).

      We got a huge Ocado order today. We still have to put some things away. We stopped at our old area in Islington today (where Peter and the students are in the mornings). We went to two stores we used to go to all the time and people were SOOO happy to see us again! They hoped we would never leave :). Too bad we live so far away from there now. Peter has a long commute every morning during "peak-time."

    2. P.S. The others had fun too! They are old enough that they can walk through the museum on their own now.
