So here's a summary of the last few days of our staycation.
On Friday we set out to
Kew Gardens, it was a lovely day for a picnic and a wander around the gardens, and its super nice knowing that you can let Teddy run around without any worries.

The Japanese Garden at Kew... super peaceful... in no way were we tempted to encourage Ted to run through the gravel... mwhahaha.
On Saturday the weather turned pretty terrible so we didn't venture too far. Dan and Teddy undertook a morning expedition to do some shopping under the arches in Bermondsey, and stopped off in a playground on route. We also stopped for the obligatory
Croissant, a staple of Teddy's since our trip to Paris.
That is one satisfied customer with a face covered in crumbs!
On Sunday the weather flipped back to summer, and so we headed out into the big wide world; well Canary Wharf.
Teddy took a walk along the river, particularly enjoying walking up and down steps and slopes wherever they could be found.
...Teddy took the opportunity to pretend to be Christina Broom...
...before we went to
Mini-Mudlarks and Teddy got involved with some heavy construction work...
...our staycation ended with another tall ship event... this time the sailing of the
ARC Gloria, the flagship of the Colombian Navy, which had been docked near Canary Wharf and took a final sail under Tower Bridge before heading back out to sea... it was an amazing sight as the sun went down the Gloria was sounding its horn and playing Colombian music.
