Same due date!

My really good friend Anna who is also pregnant and miraculously have the same due date as I!

We regularly meet up for play dates with Sean and Nick, but now we also share pregnancy tips and experiences which is extra nice :-)

First we went to the hospital where Anna had an antenatal appointment, we then treated our boys to a happy meal and ice cream in McDonalds (which btw had a very funky wall paper, don't you think?!) 

Country bumpkin or city slicker?

For weeks Andrea and I have been looking online at properties in Beaconsfield, and last week we arranged an appointment with the estate agent who's been assisting us.

So yesterday Sean and I got on the train from Marylebone to Beaconsfield where Andrea picked us up in her car. First we had brunch at Beech House, which was recommended to us, and then the viewings began.

The train journey itself only took an incredible 22(!) minutes from the west end of London to leafy Buckinghamshire,  and for the same price as the Marylebone Village mews house that we've been to see several times recently, this is what we would get:

Well the big question remains; do we pack up and leave central London for more space, with another baby on the way?! Country bumpkin or city slicker? Only time will tell.... ;-)

Pub lunch & house viewing

Popped out locally to grab a bite to eat before viewing a town house for sale here in Marylebone, that has a self contained flat in the basement, with its own entrance (ideal for my Mum in other words! 😊)

Cecconi's

Andrea and I had a girly afternoon yesterday with shopping and giggles around Bond Street, then a celebratory lunch in one of our favourite Mayfair hang out spots, Cecconi's,

Grandpa Laurie visiting

This weekend we had the pleasure of a visit from Bear's Dad, (and Sean's Grandpa) - Laurie. Sean refers to him as 'The giant' as he is 198cm(!) tall and just loved spening time with his farfar :-) 

We spent the weekend eating out at various restaurants such as Ishtar and Summerhouse  and after a traditional Swedish breakfast that I prepared at home. Bear also took his Dad and Sean for a lovely al freso lunch on the lawn at Stoke Park.

It was lovely for us to have the three generations together and we agreed that we must do it more often.. 

Oh, and here is my favourite pic that was simply too good to shrink for the collage:

Father and son, with the envious genes..
Pretty unbelievable to think that these two handsome men are 48 and 73 years old! Now that, you wouldn't have guessed, right?! 

Raise a glass to toast the new royal arrival!

Snaps from Mum's last days

H.A.P.P.Y

Mum arrived on Tuesday, and she appeared to have brought Summer with her to London :-) What a privilege to be alive and healthy, have the sun's warmth on my skin, and my loved ones around me!! Here are some pics from the last few days:

This fab tune is on repeat in our household, and really explains how I feel at the moment!

Sunday barbecue

What better way to spend the hottest day of the year eating, drinking wine and chatting away with good friends in their beautifully manicured garden, whilst watching the kids play?
