Box Hill
Saturday 23rd September 2017
Chie flew off to Japan this morning, and I thought it would be a good idea to engage Erika in a wholesome family activity, so we went down to Box Hill to meet up with Adrian, Liz and Erika's cousins. Dashed back to Kentish Town after that to attend Alice's birthday party.
