A little trip to the country

Our friends Marsh and Fi have recently moved into a new house which is properly outside of London.

We went out to visit last weekend. Jackie was working on Saturday so Theo and I headed out on our own.

First of all we walked to Tooting, had some lunch and then got on the tube. Tooting Broadway to Elephant and Castle on the Northern Line. Then change for the Bakerloo Line which we took from Elephant and Castle to Marylebone.

Theo was quite good on the tube smiling and waving at people and generally being curious after a while he got a bit hot and restless which was a bit tough, a bit of screaming and thrashing around but it was only a few minutes before we were at Marylebone so it was ok.

Shortly after arriving at Marylebone Theo went to sleep, I had a 20 min wait for a train and was a little worried he would wake up before we got on the train. Fortunately we got on the train, Theo woke up as the train left the station but fell back to sleep again and slept for the 30 min train journey.


We arrived in Beaconsfield, Fiona took our luggage in the car, Theo Marshall and I walked back to the house where Marshall and Theo got to work assembling the new bbq.




Fi and I had to take Theo for a walk to let Marshall make some progress with the bbq! We went down to a local park


Theo had a great time but got a little dizzy after playing on one of the spinning things


Jackie arrived in time for dinner, cooked on the new bbq.


Theo has a good night sleep (after throwing up all over Jackie).


The next day, corn fritters on the bbq for breakfast, yum. Then a walk through the woods to a pub for lunch before getting the train home.

It was great to get out of the big smoke for a day.
