I used a flash for this shot, but as I had it bouncing off my yellow walls, it's turned the paper a creamy colour. Still quite pleased with it although the very left hand pencil just being off square is a little annoying.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whilst the girlies are with their dad, I've been attempting to do some gardening. I'm finding it tough going though - it's so much easier if you've someone to help you - not that they're much help, but you know what I mean. The bouganvilla that got a quick trimming.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought some Pelargoniums the other day - finaly got them repotted - I rather like these as they can miss a day or two's watering in the summer and not suffer too much - and are so bright and cheerfull.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As an added bonus, you also get this feeble excuse for a photograph, actually in small like this it doesn't look too bad. The Bee Eaters have arrived and this one was halfway down the field. Typically, I had one not 20 meters away from me when I didn't have my camera in my hand, by the time I had returned with it, it had gone. Will this be the year that I finally get a shot of a Bee Eater?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lovely day here today, so we decided we ought to start to get the pool ready for summer. This winter I decided to turn the water and pump off and just leave it.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also spotted a black squirrel - which I've never seen before</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We stopped for lunch and went down to the walky round bit, where we saw Wallabies with babies in their pouches - although this one looks like it should be being charged dig money, it's so big!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And back into the car for the dangerous animals again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A number of lumbering Rhino, who did actually break into a bit of a gallop once we had passed them</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A black bear - had to be taken with the window up as the rangers were very close. Doing what bears do best in the sunshine - just about nothing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There were lots of other animals too, giraffes, zebras, sea lions, rhea, tigers, lions, otters, tortoise, lemur and more. A very nice way to pass our last day in the UK.</span></div>

The girlies voluntered to go to the pictures and do some more shopping!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the way back we passed through Stoney Stratford where I took this shot of The Old George and had coffee and cakes in Costas.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Friday was still fairly overcast although the sun did come out now and again. And we spent the afternoon at Bletchley Park. The house and gardens were quite splendid, although I'm sure it will all be a lot prettier come the summer.</span><br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was very interesting to learn all about The Enigma machine that decoded the Germans messages through the war. I could totally understand how the Germans coded the messages in the first place - but how the machine worked to decode them was very difficult to get my head around. It would appear that a lot of it was down to good luck and chance.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hot Chocolate and cakes was also consumed - they just don't do cake in Spain like they do in the UK.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">You have been warned</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the Wednesday we caught the train up to London for the day. According to the weather reports it should have been a sunny and warm today - it was bloody freezing. First stop was Buckingham Palace to see Changing the Guard.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then we walked down through St James Park towards the Embankment. There was a brief stop to change <b>my </b>nice warm Ugg boots for Charlotte's Converse's - but at least it helped prevent some of the whinging.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A very brief stop in Trafalgar Square and straight into a McDonalds for a very welcome Hot cup of coffee and a Burger - it would appear that many other people had this idea too, fortunately we found a table though.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Suitably warmed up, we continued our march down towards Westminster and Big Ben - girls were really excited and wanted their photo taken many times with this.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We crossed over Westminster Bridge, as you can see not only was it cold, it was also blowing a bit of a hooley!!!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once on the other side, I actually had my photo taken.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then we went to get our tickets for the London Dungeeons and the Eye. There was a short 4d film to watch before hand, which was actually rather good.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then we joined the queue for the dungeons. Still freezing cold and oh my god, about an hour and a half's wait to get inside. We amused ourselves taking photos. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tried to take a few photos inside the dungeon, but with flash not allowed, they weren't particularly successful. From here we went on to the eye, fortunately the queue for this had died down a bit and we were soon aboard our capsule.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The view was superb, however it was soon evident just how murky it was outside and this is definitely something to try again on a clearer day. I also found the reflections in the viewing glass quite tricky to shoot around too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Upon dismounting the Eye, we proceeded to cross the Thames again on the Waterloo bridge, I think it would've made a better photo if we'd used the bridge in between though. As you can see, still blowing a gale and freezing cold.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the Tuesday we ventured up to <a href="http://www.zsl.org/zsl-whipsnade-zoo/" target="_blank">Whipsnade Zoo</a> where luckily the sun came out, so did the bears to my delight as, having never seen them before, I was beginning to disbelieve in their very existence. And very playful they were too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was very surprised at how much the cheatah cubs had grown, they're almost as tall as their mum now, but still have their baby fluff. I was very pleased to catch 5 or them with mum and all of their eyes open. The other was outside the cage coughing up hair balls - not so cute.</span><br />

London is their Holy Grail of places to visit, so as you can imagine they were very excited indeed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We landed at Luton airport at about 00.15, very cold and still with patches of snow on the ground - not really what I was expecting when I organised this just after Christmas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saturday was our first day there and not surprisingly we didn't get up too early. We went for a walk around one of the many lakes (left camera at home) and the girls helped to feed the birds</span><br />
