This week marks a huge milestone for us…Mrs T starts school! It’s crazy how quickly it has come around and it only feels like yesterday that we celebrated her fourth birthday at Peppa Pig World. Well, it was last month to be precise. She’s going to be one of the youngest in her class. Bless. Having said that, I do think she’s ready for the change and she seems to be looking forward to it. I know I am going to find it emotional dropping her off for the first time to start her education for at least the next 12 years.
Over the weekend we put on our City Tripping shoes and went exploring the legacy left by the London Olympics in Stratford. It was a fascinating walk around the area and I’ll be writing a post on it soon but here’s one of the photos I took of the Olympic Park and Sir Anish Kapoor’s ArcelorMittal Orbit sculpture where you can now ride its slide.
How about you. Where have you been? I am looking forward to hearing about your city-related travels. This week I am linking up my post on 36 hours in Oslo. The linky is over with Cathy at MummyTravels this week. If you haven’t already, take a look at the competition I am running for a wrap-style baby carrier, KangaWrap – an item I have found invaluable on my city jaunts.
