Arrived at St Pancras Station just after lunch and made our way to the taxi rank, the weather must have finally caught up with us as it was bucketing I thought our last few days were going to be spent in our hotel room and eventually even more the case!! we arrived at our hotel after a very chatty ride with the taxi driver, we checked in and headed up to our room the lift was too small so I sent Carmel up with the cabin luggage and took the next lift up, when I ...

It was also great to get to know Seema a little better and finally meet his kids as Seema was pregnant with Aryian last time we met and ...

We decided to take a ...
