Weekend before last Mummy, Daddy and Katie went to London. They drove to Louise's house and had fajitas for their tea. Then all the adults and Katie went to this bit of London what is called Highgate cos that is where the hotel is that Katie was staying in. On the way there Mummy and Louise were trying to sort out Maggie's transport run in the back of the car but then Mummy got really travel sick and her battery ran out so she had to swap seats with Daddy so she could sit in the front and hang her head out of the window like a dog (I never hang my head out of the window by the way and I'm a dog).
When they got to the hotel Katie's friends were waiting outside so she went off with them and the humans went back to Louise's.
On Saturday Dave drove Mummy and Daddy to the airport where they got the tube into London. Mummy has a morbid fear of the underground but she was trying to be brave and not be a massive baby. They went to Covent Garden first. Mummy says this is the scariest underground station cos it is 15 floors underground. They had a look round and then they walked past the Savoy Hotel and went down to the river but there was some bike thing going on and they couldn't cross the road to get near the London eye so they went to Trafalgar Square and looked at all the pictures in the National Gallery. Mummy wanted to go and ogle over Whistlejacket. She has a thing for Whistlejacket.
Then they had lunch in a really nice restaurant near Trafalgar Square then walked down Whitehall and they saw some nice horses and soldiers and Downing Street where that David Cameron fella lives and then they went to see the houses of parliament and they stood under Big Ben as it chimed two o'clock and they went to see Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace and they walked round St James Park.
Then they got back on the tube and they went to Harrods but it was full of rich Arab ladies buying handbags and they didn't have anything interesting to look at it in there. Then they walked down to Hyde Park and had a drink and paddled in the Serpentine. Then after that they were tired cos they had walked all over London so they went back on the tube and Louise picked them up from the airport.
In the meantime Katie was at Summer in the City at Alexandra Palace. This was like some big fan thing for Youtubers. All of Katie's friends were there and she was having a great time. She met Dan and Phil off of Radio One. They are her favourite Youtubers.
On Sunday Mummy, Daddy, Louise and Dave all went into London. They parked at the car park at the airport where Dave works right next to where the Concorde lives. But as they got out of the car it started raining really hard and they tried to run to the station but Dave's umbrella blew apart and he was left holding the frame as the fabric bit flew past Daddy's head. Mummy and Louise laughed their heads off. So Dave out his umbrella in the bin outside the station and they got on the train and went to the Tower of London to see the ceramic poppies. They was beautiful, there was millions of them. Then they went to a pub across the road and had some lunch.
After lunch they went to Whitechapel and went on a guided walk about the old East End. A pug called Bobby came too and when his mum popped into a shop to get a sandwich she asked Louise to look after him. Her and mummy were thinking about stealing him. Then they decided they were going to change the name of the rescue to Pug Rescue Network cos they could rescue loads of pugs and keep them in their handbags. This man did a good tour and afterwards they went to Spitalfields market and down Brick Lane. But during the walk Mummy got a bit of a tummy ache and by the time they finished the walk she was in agony but she didn't want to spoil everybody's day so she was pretending she was ok. They walked back through the East End and into the City of London and by the time they got to the tube station Mummy was dying in pain so she decided she would use the toilet (she doesn't do public toilets as a rule so you have a clue about how much her tummy was hurting). But there was a sign in the station saying there were no toilets so they got on the train and then they had to change to another line but there were no toilets at that station either and then by the time they were on the last train Mummy realised that there was no way she was going to make it all the way back to the last station and back to Dave's car and back to Louise and Dave's house without having some kind of accident. So she finally owned up and told everyone she was dying in pain and Louise looked on her phone for stations on their route with toilets. So they got off at Hounslow and Mummy hobbled downstairs to the toilet while the others waited on the platform. There were two toilets and neither of them had locks but she didn't care, she was so desperate to go to the toilet. Anyway the good news is that she did make it home safely and there were no accidents. Mummy didn't have any food or drink for the rest of the day though just in case.
When it got dark it was time to drive into London to get Katie. Mummy and Daddy went to Alexandra Palace and there were millions of teenage girls running about but they found Katie and her friend and then they had to go back to the hotel to get her stuff. Then Katie went in to say goodbye to everybody but Mummy and Daddy had to wait outside cos they are too embarrassing.
Daddy and Katie stopped at the services to get some tea but Mummy waited in the car cos her tummy was still hurting. But there was no food being served so they got choklit instead.
When they got home we had all missed them. Tom and Bryn looked after us good and we went on lots of walks and had good cuddles though.
