Today we entertained Simon & the boys for tea and to give them their Christmas presents.



It’s been a very busy festive period for us, with Marc & James over for lunch on Christmas, and tea
with Sharon & Keith on Boxing Day. Tomorrow it’s totally different, with a meal out followed by a
visit to the theatre in London’ West End.

To day I was invited to one of the hospitality suites at White Hart Lane, for Tottenham Hotspur’s home game with Manchester United. Here you can see me with rubbing shoulders with old stars, David Ginola and Allan Mullery.

Today Marc followed his brother James’ example, and moved out into his new home, courtesy of a “man with a van”.

We all wish both Marc and James lots of health and happiness in their respective new homes for many years to come.

This evening, after much planning, our youngest son James moved out of the family home and into his own place.

It was quite a squeeze, but he managed to get most of his things (most important possessions that is) into the taxi.  We wish him much health and happiness in his new home.

This evening Simon took his sons Scott & Alex to the new Wembley Stadium, where they watched a great night of soccer entertainment. First off, they saw Scottish team Celtic thrash a top Eqyptian side 5-0. Then the main event – when they saw the world famous Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) take on the current European champions, Barcelona, and come away with a most creditable 1-1 draw.

Today we invited Simon & the boys over for afternoon tea. First we went for a walk through Swakeleys park, and then back home when it started to cloud over a little.

Today Gina & I took advantage of a lovely summer’s day, and we went for a cruise along the River Thames. We set off from the pier next to the Tower of London, sailing under Tower Bridge as far down as Greenwich, and then back again towards Westminster, home of “Big Ben” and the Houses of Parliament. On the way we passed many interesting places and sites, such as HMS Belfast and the “London Eye”. In the evening, we ate “al fresco” at an Italian restaurant in nearby St. Katherine’s dock. You can view a short movie of the trip on our Davis family podcast – enjoy !!!

Here you can see the dome of St. Paul’s Catherdral, through a gap on the embankment.

Today Gina & I went on a brief tour of the new Stadium complex, at Wembley. Here below are pictures of both the approach way and the actual plinth used to open the 1948 Olympic games, held here in London.

This afternoon Gina and I took full advantage of the glorious spring sunshine, and spent a most pleasant time walking alongside the River Thames, at Marlow.
