  • Welcome to the 2nd of my Summer 2019 weekly vlogs. We went away for a week to London, Paris and Disneyland. We took the train from Manchester to London, and travelled via the Eurostar from London to Paris. I share how I planned the trip, and how much it cost for a large family (we are a family of 7 - 2 adults and 5 children).

    When the eldest children are old enough to babysit, you should take a trip for you and Akil so you can do your evening walks etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong and please do a video on this . Thank you x

    Great idea to go by Eurostar, and you're brave doing all that exploring with many kids & pregnant 💪 You'll experience more racism living or working there.

      Unfortunately racism and the related attacks and abuse are not a thing of the past , but it’s not something you would understand.
      And children pick up on their environment if it is negative and unwelcoming and not down to parents talking about things , unfortunately we have to share the ugliness of the world with our children to make them aware of the dangers so they can attempt to protect themselves
      As I said previously I appreciate the positive message you are trying to portray but I don’t agree that it is as straightforward as changing your mindset as a minority
