what did we get up to with Jasmin and her spots?

Gosh it seems ages since I have posted on my blog.  Here is a small round up of what we  have been up to:

We finally found out the reason for Jasmin been so under the weather, chicken pox! bless her.  Just as we were about to go to London for the weekend.  She had them all on her scalp, in  her ears and mouth.

We tried to cancel/postpone our trip, but unfortunately the hotel wouldn't let us transfer. The doctor, said that if she felt up to it there was no reason for her not to go.  So very last minute we decided to give it ago and I am so glad we did.

Jasmin had plenty of room on the train going down so was able to spread out. She managed the journey ok.  This was followed by a taxi to the hotel.  We then went for a walk across the Millennium Bridge, and a short look around the Tate Modern which Jasmin loved and  helped take her mind off things.

back at the hotel, hoping for a good sleepxxx

The next day, after a much better sleep we headed off to the London eye, Buckingham Palace and The Natural History Museum.  Wow…she did so well bless and loved everything we did, armed with her camera, her mind was completely taken off being itchy.

On our way back from Buckingham Palace we bumped into friends on the London Underground, which was lovely, we hadn't seen them for 4 years…we found out they were staying in the hotel next to ours, what are the chances of that happening??

It was great, we met them up for dinner and had a great time catching up.  Also in the restaurant there was a lady doing flamenco dancing, Jasmin couldn't wait to get up and have a go. This really tired her out and she slept all night…Yeah!!

Sunday saw a trip to Hamley's which was just amazing.  Armed with presents for her brothers we then went onto the transport museum. It was really impressive.  Lots of visuals and hands on displays, one of Jasmin's favourite places of the whole trip.

We saw this and thought of you Cordelia.xxx We will print you a clearer photo.  The shop window was amazing.

 Our trip finished with Build a Bear, before heading back to the station for our journey homexx

We then had a very quiet week, which was needed. Jasmin met up with friends for a play on Thursday, which was lovely.

Friday, Jasmin passed her level 6 skating.  She was so happy.

Also on Friday, Jasmin took some close up photos of a frog in our pond, it was really lovely to be able to do that.

Saturday, Jasmin did her first level 7 lesson, and didn't find it too hard, so that was good.  She then went to her grandmas in the afternoon, followed by a sleep over at her nans.

Dave and I went away for the afternoon/night on Saturday without any children to Knaresborough and it was lovely.  I had spa treatments whilst Dave did some work in the bar and then we had champagne and a nice meal.  The room was amazing, what do you think?

what a bathxx

Today Jasmin finished her first piano book and got her first certificate.xx
