Meeting NikkiT2 - a true Babble veteran - for dinner in London.
Seeing the interior of Buckingham Palace for the first time.
Seeing the entire skyline of London from the London Eye, even if I couldn't bring myself to look out the window sometime.And Wales... let me dwell for a while on the beauty of Wales. So gentle in comparison to Scotland, yet a landscape soaked in blood as well. We travelled from Nantwich in Cheshire across to Oswestry, Newtown, Llandrindod Wells, through the Brecon Beacons, an amazing national park. The sheep outnumber the humans 3 to 1 .
I introduced my husband to my mum's brother. He's a forestry consultant and was knighted in 1996 for his service to the public by Prince Charles. He also has a war medal from WW2 (he was born and raised in Latvia in the Baltic region), and two almost useless gnarled hands from that war too. He has a gentle, caring soul, and is utterly incapable of expressing himself within the confines of 4 walls. He can only speak with ease while outside in the woods he loves more than his children. I love to walk with him across the land he knows so intimately.
We flew business class on airmiles.
