Harvey goes to London
Despite horrendous weather, Harv and I went to London today. DON'T have a cow, grandparents - we did not go near a Tube, we took the train to King's Cross and walked the rest of the way. The purpose of the trip was to go to lunch with Helen and the rest of the gang from the Biochemical Society and Portland Press, to say farewell to Helen as she goes on maternity leave.
We went to a lovely Italian restaurant, where Harv devoured spaghetti bolognase, Gorgonzola and spinach pasta (mine, I might add) and ice-cream. Followed by some of Helen's chocolate brownie.
Harv had a great time, and very much appreciated being entertained by John M from Finance (thanks for the Abacus John!!).
On our return to King's Cross platform 11, I noticed a new platform, and so we stopped for a snap...
I decided to take another and......
He'd gone to to Hogwarts! As you can imagine, I panicked. Luckily, the mistake was realised and he was sent back as 17 months and 3 weeks is too young to go to school, even for a Wizard of Harv's standard. Harvey, sadly, did not agree and had a sad look on his face on the train home....
Have a lovely weekend xxxx
He now looks a very tired little boy, what a lovely day out in the big smoke.
