Tuneful Park and 2nd Birthday

C turned two last Sunday.  We were scheduled for a little party with grandparents and cousins in North London.  Deciding to chance the car breaking down, we took a route through Central London that kept us on slower roads with lots of access to public transport if we did break down.  We drove past the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, 10 Downing St, the Horse Guards - I often forget how very close we are to Central London.  Fortunately, the car didn't break down, and we were treated to a big laugh by E quickly reading a Tube sign as "Tuneful Park" instead of "Tufnell Park."  Good stuff.

Duet on Grandpa's piano.


Running amok in the music room with bells.


Blowing out candles on the gingerbread house cake C shared with her cousin, who is turning 1 in a few days.

 Today we decorated our Christmas tree.


It's beginning to feel festive around here, although there is so much more to do before the big day - including a short trip away with friends.  Today while out with the kids we met a baronet!  87 years old and going strong, we had a great chat.  He says nobody ever stops to chat with him... but we did, and it was fantastic.  His baronetcy is in Nova Scotia.

Well, that's all for now.
