A Succession of Moments

It's been an incredibly busy week. But a very good week as it happens.
Started Wednesday, although that didn't go according to plan. Should have been meeting my friend in birmingham to go down to London but the trains went up the spout so she met me at Leicester and we drove to Birmingham International. Cause the car park was so full she had to park at the airport and so we missed the train. Hey Ho, it was a pleasant journey though. We scoffed cake and read magazines. However, never being on a Virgin pendalino before it wasn't the pleasantest experience cauise the tilting made me a bit quesy! Anyway we got to Euston and got a cab over the The Rathbone hotel which was great on two counts. Not only was the room lovely but it was bang on the centre of London so we could walk to Oxford Street which is what we did. Dropped off our stuff we headed off shopping.


Oxford street, Regent Street, Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Carnaby street, Planet Hollywood for lunch. I was knackered and my legs hurt but i just love mooching around London! Got Corey a few toys from Hamleys which he loved when we got home. Picked a Starbucks up on the way back to the hotel and then got ready and off to see Wicked.


I have to say it's one of the best musical i have seen and one i would definitely see again. The songs were fab, great acting, great sets and the singers, well, were phenominal. We had front row circle seats so the best view! After the show we got the tube back and went to The Living Room for a cocktail, What a lovely end to the evening. Then back to the hotel and slept okish but i never sleep brilliantly on hotels.
Up early and got some coffee and croissants in the room. Set off fairly early as we walked back to the station via St Pancras as my friend hasn't seen the new station and she was impressed. If you haven't seen it i would definitely recommend going to have a look.



So then back to Euston and naughty naughty - Krispy Kreme donuts and a Starbucks! To be honest i found the donuts a little bit sickly and sugary for me.



Pendalino ride back and again a quesy ride and then back from Birmingham to Sheffield. It had been a packed but fun couple of days.
Yesterday i popped into the Neonatal unit with Corey to say hello and they all thought he was fabulous(which he of course is!), then it was off to Tescos for some shopping. Pizza Hut for tea last night and i definitely need to go running now or i'll be getting porky again.
Today Dave has gone canoeing up in Flamborough so Corey and I are having a day together and are going to head out on the train somewhere.
Hope you all have a fab weekend!
