Nanny's Visit Part 2

The second leg of Nanny's visit again began on Thursday.

Thursday afternoon after my class, Nanny met me in Kingston and we walked around and had lunch and then I showed her some of the highlights of Kingston.  Then we both decided that we were going to take the buses back to West Drayton and so we spent about 2 hours on a bus.  Finally we were home and I got to see Chunk and the rest of the family and hang out once again!

Friday was a beautiful, warm day and Nanny and I decided that we were going to get to Windsor Castle.  We went and I was so glad that we did.  We spent the day walking around the grounds of the castle and seeing all that there was to see.  We barely missed the changing of the guard, but we did not let that deter us.  We went around and looked at the gardens and the chapel, the doll's houses and the rest of the state apartments.  I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Windsor Castle but it didn't end there.  After we went into the Castle we went to get some lunch and then we were off on our feet again to the Eton Boys School.  It is quite famous here and around the world and so we went to see the grounds.  It was a beautiful place and it was nice to see.  I am glad that I got to say that I saw it.  We then walked back to the city of Windsor and just took in the sights and walked around and did a little shopping.  After, we hopped back on the trains like experts and we got home and took a quick nap before everyone got home.



Saturday Nanny and I went to see my Aunt Josie and my Aunts Jackie and Georginia.  We also saw their kids, Angela and Andrew.  It was a good time again and it was a wonderful visit.  Josie remembered Nanny, regardless of the fact that she is suffering from dementia and I saw that they enjoyed each other's company.  We then went back to Josie's house and caught up with all of the family and just enjoyed each other.  It was a good day and they all went out of their way to make sure that I felt like I was welcome in their house and made sure to make me feel like I would be able to get back there anytime I needed to.


Sunday, Mark, Sam, Nanny and I went into London.  It was a day full of strange occurences but I was a lot of fun and I wouldn't have traded it for the world, even though I did freeze throughout the entire day. First, there was a man that was a street performer that called me over and kissed a card and gave it to me.....it was very strange.



Then we went into a store and shopped around for a little bit, and then finally we decided to leave.  On the way out this teddy bear mascot caught me and took my hand and dragged me back to this man that was on stilts.  I took a picture with them and the teddy bear kept hugging me.  It was very strange, but a lot of fun and a picture that will always make me smile.

After that, we went walking down the road and we saw these people that were dressed in very strange ways.  They were dressed to raise money and my nanny was very excited to see them.  I got a picture with them as well.  The rest of the day was pretty uneventful, besides the couple of birds that got so close that I got scared and started screaming. I HATE birds and I HATE when they get close so I was very scared because of that.

After that, on Monday Nanny and I went to visit my Aunt Pat.  We hung out with her for the day and I got a new pair of boots.  After that, we dropped Pat off and we went back to the house.  We hung out for a little bit and then Sam and Mark came home and we hung out with them for a while.  After that Andrew came over and said goodbye to Nanny and we got to see the kids again.  It was a very good time and it was sad that it all had to come to an end.

I had to say goodbye to Nanny after that, something I was not looking forward to, but something that had to happen eventually.

I am glad that she got to visit and I am glad that she got to enjoy her time here!

Cheers!
