We've learned that the trick to London city survival is doing your best to get out, out on the weekends. This month, we've had a couple weekends out. One weekend, we took a trip out to
Hever castle, Anne
Boleyn's childhood home (
thx for the recommend Lindsay!). We stayed the night in the Henry the VIII pub just opposite.
Euge asked how old it was - the woman who worked there wasn't sure if it was 15
th or 16
th century (!!). So 500-600 years old, give or take a hundred years. It was quite charming, but the beds were just as old as the building I think!
We took a country walk, picked blackberries and just enjoyed the grounds.

The castle grounds were beautiful but it rained most of the time so not many photos.

You look beautiful! I can't believe you are that far along. And the picture of you and the girls in the field is fantastic! What an experience. While (whilst?) some of the experiences are difficult at the time, the memories will be amazing.
You look so great! Tell the girls hello for us. What a fun adventure you are having, rain and all. :)
I echo the previous comments! You look amazing! How fun to be able to take such great weekend trips.
It looks like you are having so many fun adventures. You and your family look so happy together... I love your photos! I hope you are feeling good along with looking so good :).
You look great and it sounds like fun to get to see so much of the area around London.
