She's Arrived!

How exciting! My sister has arrived for her first trip to England. She was in Germany for the last two weeks, so popped over for a brief visit this week. Today we started the day early and headed down to the South Bank for our pre-booked trip on the London Eye. We managed to get there early enough to get on the the first flight of the day. It was such a beautiful sunny clear morning, so we got some good views. By the time we got off the Eye was before our flight was even pre-booked for. So with so much time on our hands we decided to head over to Borough Market. In all the years of living in London I had never been. Boy, was I missing out! It is such a lively vibrate place with so much wonderful food on display. We had to be very restraint an only bought a few things, like garlic marinated in chili and olive oil, balsamic onions, Burt Sugar hot ginger fudge, strawberry cream tart (for me), Baileys chocolate cheesecake (for Peter) and Yvonne got her a slice of banoffee pie to try.

After a short detour home, we headed over to my sister-in-laws for a belated Canada Day BBQ. Only 25 days late, but the weather was great and the company even better. Had a great time playing with the nieces. They put on a circus for us and did several dance routines. Then surprised me with a special Canada Bush, which was a bush in there back garden that they stuck Canadian flags in. Lots of great sausages and burgers were BBQ and served with fresh rolls, salads, crisps and dips. Yvonne had her first taste of Pimms and enjoyed that too.

In the evening we popped over to PPPs for a quick stopped that ended up being not so quick and had a nice chat drinking iced water and sitting in front of the fan. Then explored the garden in the evening breeze to check on the frogs in the pond. Tonight I think it will be an early night and who knows what tomorrow might bring.
