London - Wednesday, 5th October

Another slow start this morning, and so we headed straight down for breakfast and a trip on the London Eye, which took half an hour and was amazing.  On the way out, we passed a 'house of horrors', which the girls insisted Tobes and I did with them, and it was very scary - I'm sure I'm even greyer now...

Then off for a bit of shopping in Knightsbridge, to try to find something new for the girls to wear to the Rihanna concert at the O2 tonight (surprise organised by both Toby and his sister Lu).  Great success for Ava, and none for Clouds, which didn't go down too well.  The girls and I came back to the hotel to get ready for our night out, while Tobes went to Savile Row for a fitting for his jacket, then we all met up at a nearby pub together with Lu and her son Marcus, who had very kindly come down to London by train, to bring us our Rihanna tickets!! The girls and I then left for our concert and Tobes, Lu and Marcus went off out to dinner together.

Rihanna was fantastic - our seats were great and the girls went nuts!  Ava had almost lost her voice by the time we were half way through and they were completely blown away with their first concert.  Home by midnight and blogging now in preparation for an early start tomorrow, as we are heading up to Lu's in Oxfordshire for the weekend.
