Nanny Time
Nanny Time

Whilst on my book tour last month, and in honor of the last Harry Potter movie, I visited one of author J.K. Rowling's old haunts, The Elephant House. This is one of the cafes where Rowling wrote "Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone" (all of you in the states know this book as "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"). Then, I went to Edinburgh castle, which has a very Harry Potter feel about it. 

I returned to London to do some radio interviews for the second season of Extreme Parental Guidance as well as for my "Confident Toddler Care" book. You can check out all of my photos from these moments here on my Flickr page.
