Our Trip to London

Nick and I went to London for 6 days to visit his family. It was my first time in the UK so I was quite excited to see all the touristy things!!!! I loved London - the buildings are old and amazing and there is so much history. But I could not live there - its too cold for me. But we were very lucky we had temperatures of between 24-27 most days.

This happens every few minutes (probably so he doesn't get a DVT)
