Saturday 16th July 2016<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Our first chance in a while to get away for a weekend after helping out with Thatcham Tornadoes Summer School the last six Saturdays!\u00a0 Callum had very patiently beared with us whilst this was going on so we thought he thoroughly deserved a treat!<\/p>\n\n\n

We caught the train into Paddington – surprisingly, it was direct.\u00a0 Most of the time you have to change at Reading at the weekend.\u00a0 As we had a little free time in the morning, we headed over to the Emirates Air Line<\/strong><\/a> – a cable car that was installed for the London 2012 Olympics and pretty much connected the O2 to the Excel Centre.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was pretty cool and took you up quite high.\u00a0 Just before we boarded, it emerged that the chap in front was very nervous and unsure about going up … the lady in charge of the queue was really good and invited him to take a seat to one side so he could decide if he wanted to go up.\u00a0 Jon was just relieved that he made the decision rather than end up in the same car as us and have a panic attack mid-way across.\u00a0 Some amazing views – once all the construction is complete, they will be even better!<\/p>\n\n\n
