Today was the first day of our trip to London. We booked a place to stay for two nights. We did not get here at the time we wanted, but got here early enough to make it to dinner at Pastaio.
The food and service here was just what we needed after what was an exhausting drive for my wife. Things were complicated as my wife and son had a disagreement. She moved on from it but he stayed in a bad mood, which resulted in him wanting to return to the flat, and also at times, talked about returning to Colchester.
One of my brothers had come up to Colchester to look after Leia as she is in season (and we do not want puppies) which meant our dog sitter was not able to look after her. I communicated with him by text to ask if my son could stay with my Mum, in his room. However he reminded me about the spare room. Hopefully this will not be an option that we need to take up, but is need be.
Finally, the flat is amazing, the view fantastic and the location is superb. We may see if we can use this place again in the future.
