Jet's surprise day in london.......
I had booked saturday night at a hotel in St. Albans, so that I would not have to drive after judith's and Shawn's wedding.
I must admit that the wine at the reception was outstanding and, maybe, I drank a couple too many....
I had planned to spend most of the sunday in London, without telling Jet, before returning home to Wales.
So as I was setting the GPS, I told her that we were diverting to Fulham for a couple of hours, to see some friends.
"Big place this Pulam, noh...?" She kept saying as we drove into the capital.....
After we arrived at Earls Court exibition Centre I did have to tell her.....
her face was a picture to behold, real surprise and happiness.
Thanks to one of my better ex colleagues in the wine trade, we got a couple of free tickets to get inside the Ideal Home Show. She was absolutely gobsmacked by all the various things on display and sale. She stopped a few times at different jewellery and handbag stands, and although there were items on display which she was attracted to, she diplomatically dismissed them, realizing that they were well overpriced at that venue.
We went around for a couple of hours, meet a couple of old work friends and made the introductions and after that we left for another big attraction.
She only realized we were going to the London Eye, when the darn thing suddenly appeared in front of us....
For her that turned a good day out into a brilliant one.
We queued up for 5 minutes to get tickets and another 5 to get onboard the viewing pod. A bit scare at first, realizing that it was moving and getting higher and higher, but after a few minutes she settled and from then on she was taking photos galore.
By gum she looked happy.
All the way back home she talked about Judith's wedding and the London Eye, real excited.
As soon as we stepped into our place, she went straight to the pc and started downloading every photo taken during the 2 days.
Yesterday, monday, she was off work and spent the most of the morning sending photos of of our trip to london to her family.
And I suppose they in turn, were showing off with the neighbours.....
The whole trip was not cheap,, but well worth the effort,
, just to see her satisfied and happy smiling face.
