Busy busy day!
Had a rather slow start to my day off, with the usual noise and hustle of the kids realising mum is not leaving the house (just yet).
After a late brunch we set off to collect my sister from her hotel and safely deposit her in the 15.30 train back to Glasgow, which of course had Corran in tears. Both boys have enjoyed having her around these last few days, ethan enjoys using her wheelchair as a climbing frame and Corran loves his little conversations they have about everything and nothing.
Our trip to Euston wasn't that straight forward, wheelchair, walking frame, heavy suitcase and Corran! But we managed and a kind gentleman helped us off at Westminster which was really nice, I think Anne enjoyed her stay, most folks are very helpful, you get the odd ignorant ******* but you get that everywhere.
From Westminster it was a taxi which didn't take that long and was reasonably priced, the driver even gave Corran some coins as Corran had been explaining his saving plans for his, fast train, slow train and airport, the latter being the most recent addition to his growing list of future purchases! We were held up slightly by the Prime Minister and the 8 extra police cars, I sometimes wonder if he just wishes he could go out and grab a burger?
Now, for those of you that know me well, you will realise a simple task like delivering my sister to a train station would not be complete without a little drama along the way and today it was in the form of a ceiling tile at Euston falling and narrowly missing Ethan, Corran and Martin all while Anne and I visited the ladies!
Once safely delivered to her carriage and Corrans tears stopped (bribed with a cookie) we went home via Canary Wharf to pick up a few essentials.
Looking forward to Steph's visit in a few weeks and Anne will be back down for Corrans birthday in the summer, but we have Ethan's birthday in April first, I feel a party coming on.
Have a good weekend
Claire
