I made a friend on my second or third day in London, in Stanhope Garden. Her name is Valentine and at that time she had a two-year-old and was pregnant. We became friends and so did Tommy and Leon (that e should have an accent, his name is pronounced 'leh-ohn', not 'lee-on'). Anyway, for a while we have been talking about visiting them at the seaside in Belgium because Valentine's husband's father has a big house there. We finally went, and we had so much fun.
Here are Tommy and Lizzie the first morning there, checking out the sheep:
The back of the house:
At the beach on Saturday morning; really cold and obviously a storm was coming.
That building behind Tommy and Eli is full of bikes so Tommy gave it a go (but did not learn how to ride a bike over the weekend, sadly).
This is Tommy and Eli and Valery and Leon (dads on bikes and boys in bike seats) on a path through a block. The bike paths in this town are so so so adorable.
Tommy eating a waffle enthusiastically.
Lizzie and Julian (Leon's little brother).
Here I am for the first time riding a bike in years, with Lulu in the bike seat. It freaked me out for the first thirty seconds or so then it was fun.
I hate blogger for putting this picture here when it was meant to be first -- leaving on the Eurostar from St Pancras.
