There is a reason to our sparse updates. Which is actually a good thing if you think about it. Cuz that means shorty and I have been busy going about doing baby moon stuff enjoying our trip.

It’s been really busy though. Yesterday shorty and I made a day trip to Manchester to watch the game at Old Trafford and by the time we got back it was so late. We just went straight to bed.

So here I am this Monday morning still laying in bed typing out this blog entry on my phone. Just to tell you guys we’re still around but have limited access to blogging. Tomorrow though we are heading to Paris and hopefully our hotel there would have wifi. Will find some time to put out a proper entry then. Until then, here’s a picture of shorty and me at the Manchester United game yesterday.

Shorty is a huge Harry Potter fan. Like really huge. Starting from the books all the way to the movie. So when she heard that we could visit the studio in which they filmed the movie here in London, she decided we had to go.

So I brought her to Warner Bros Studio in London.

We spent hours there. On all the other days in London, Shorty often complained about walking around because she said she gets tired quickly now with Fighter, but at the Harry Potter studio, she said no such thing. She was happily darting around to look at all the exhibits.

Let me share a few noteworthy pictures I took.

Here are pictures I took on the set of the Great Hall.

This is where they filmed the scene when all the students of Hogwarts would be eating.

We could walk into the actual sets in which they used to film different scenes. This one for example was Dumbledore’s office.

And we had a chance to drink Butter Beer, which Shorty loved

There was a lot more about the Harry Potter studios than I can share here like Harry Potter’s house

or this bridge.

But I’m still blogging on my phone and it is too difficult to blog a full length entry. So I’ll let you read more about it on Shorty’s blog when she does publish it.

Until then have a good weekend guys.
