Jake has been missing school during his half-term break. I wonder how long that will last!
I took three days off last week so that we could spend some time together as a family. Also Amy had her training so I looked after Jake. We went into London and first of all we went to the bike shop at London Bridge. His favourite place! Afterwards we bought some sandwiches and had a stroll along the Thames to The Tate Modern where Jake charged across the Millenium Bridge. Our plan was to catch the Thames Clipper back to London Bridge so we ended up walking on the North side to Embankment Pier. I couldn’t believe the price of a single ticket. £5.30. Rip off!
In the evening we met up with Amy and Vic in Costas on Borough High Street. Unfortunately Vic had her purse stolen by a guy pushily trying to sell an old copy of The Guardian. Luckily it only had a few pounds in it but it is a pain having to cancel your cards and order new ones.
We then decided to take Jake for a special treat to a restaurant for supper, in the dark too no less, what excitement. We chose a Lebanese restaurant called, Hiba, mainly because it was next door to Costas. The food was excellent if a little pricy. £45 for a set meal for two. There was a lot of it thought and it could have easily fed 4 people.
