QUICK VISIT TO UK

After getting over jet lag and waiting for a nice day, we spent a lovely afternoon at Bodiam Castle, East Sussex.  Ella, Kate and Caitlin (their cousin), had great fun climbing up the towers and over the ruins inside.  Mum and I didn't do so much climbing but enjoyed it just the same!
A few days later we had a family day out in London; went on an open top bus tour, then a river cruise and finally a ride on the London Eye.  It was a beautiful summers day and the view from the top was amazing.  We finished off with a stroll from Trafalgar Square down The Mall to Buckingham Palace - very touristy but great fun!
That was all I had time for as I returned to London two days later to fly to Germany for the start of my treatment in Frankfurt.  Fortunately I did have time to spend an evening in London with my dearest friends Cindy and Paul before I left, I haven't seen them for over 2 years but it always feels like yesterday...
