Photos from London

Well we hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. It was very sunny and warm here, which was fantastic. We had a few photos from past weekends so thought we'd just dump them in for everyone to see.

Arsenal vs Reading at Emirates Stadium

Ben went to his first football match on a ticket he scored through a work colleague. It was Arsenal v Reading at Emirates Stadium. As usual, Arsenal tried to blow a good lead late in the game but unlike previous matches, they held on to win! Here's a couple of photos from the match.



Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens Outing

On one of the rare sunny days we decided to go for a walk through Hyde Park so Ben could get his camera out and we could soak up some sun. It was a nice day out, especially as while Inge was standing around waiting for Ben, she met an old friend from Adelaide uni days, Scotty Dawkins. It was great running into someone from home in the middle of Hyde Park, and we've caught up a few times since.

Easter Weekend

We had lovely weather over Easter, which was good as Inge's Mum and Step-Dad came to visit. They arrived Good Friday and we spent a lovely weekend walking around London. They went to see "Guys & Dolls" on the Saturday afternoon and we went to the Easter service at Westminster Abby (Ben decided to stay home and do some work!) and then we all enjoyed an afternoon in Kew Gardens on the Sunday, although John either had quite a well used London guidebook or there's been some steep inflation lately at the £12 per person entry fee was a little higher than we were expecting!!!

The family at Kew Gardens (Ben felt left out so took a photo of his shadow!)

Flowers at Kew Gardens - exciting stuff!!

Other attractions at Kew Gardens - all this and more for just 12 Pounds!!

Well, I think that was everything. The next update will be in a few weeks when we get back from the Caribbean and the Cricket World Cup! So hopefully there will be pictures of sandy beaches and sunshine. I apologise now for our pasty white English winter bodies!!
