England So Far

A couple of days in to Milo and mine's Christmas trip to the UK this year and things are going ok. There's been some frustrating moments. For example, I always withdraw money on my German EC card, a type of debit card for those of you who don't know it, but for some reason, this time around, I haven't been able to so I have had no money of my own and have been reduced to being like a 10 year old asking my parents for a bit of cash when I need to buy something! Not exactly what I had planned!

On the plus side, Milo is loving sleeping in a big bed for the very first time, much helped by the Thomas the Tank Engine pillow and duvet case that my parents bought especially for the occassion! We also experienced a very momentous moment for Milo and I today with our first ever trip to the cinema to watch a film! I know the picture above shows one of the Chipmunks but we actually went to see the 2D version of Arthur Christmas and Milo seemed to love the experience as did I and my parents. It was actually a bit emotional for me, I felt a bit teary at times. As silly as it sounds but I love the cinema. I remember every single trip I have ever had to the cinema and although we didn't get to go all that often as kids, I remember with great joy the feelings I had each time my parents took my brother and I. I spent years working in cinema's and spent alot of my growing years in them. To this day, when down, nowhere cheers me up more then going to the cinema and I feel so at home and comfortable at them. We actually took Milo to the first cinema that I ever worked at in Crawley and it was weird taking my own son to the place that I worked at 12 years earlier. Very odd indeed.

On top of that, Milo has been a helping hand in the kitchen today. He helped my mum with making some toppings for cupcakes and then we each chose and placed toppings for personalised pizza's which Milo loved.

Tomorrow we are off to my Aunts and this is the highlight for me. I can't wait to get there and to see the rest of the family. Bring on the morning.
