Back to London

 Friday

Woke up to rain, the first significant wet weather during all of our travels to date.  Thankfully we only had to travel about 15 minutes to Podgorica airport.  We were both so relieved to return the rental car unscathed - a miracle after driving amongst such crazy drivers.

Airport procedures were just as relaxed leaving as it was when we arrived.  Reminiscent of how things used to be!  Our flight back was fine once we cleared the bumps and it was a great to fly over the lovely green countryside on the way into Gatwick Airport.

We trained directly to Victoria Station where Ella met us and we got to see the office building that she works in.  Back to the flat, unpacked and washing done at 'our' friendly local laundromat.  Was nice to have dinner ready for her when she arrived home last night.

Saturday

Ella met her friend Nina for a gym class and we caught the bus to catch up with them for a coffee.  Nina's two sister's, and her three year old nephew, are visiting and we joined them for a walk in Kensington Gardens.  It was so lovely to hear Jayden's delight in seeing the squirrels - mind you, we love to see them too.

The three of us went to the Westfield Mall at Shepard's Bush, close to where Ella lived when she first came to London.  We have the most delicious Chinese food for lunch.  Ella and I did a bit of retail therapy, just cause we could.

Later this afternoon, David and I walked to Poundland - a bargain shop - to get screwdrivers to add to Ella's tool kit and, hopefully, fix a door for her.  It was amazing the bargains we found!

Loving just hanging out with our girl.
