Dear Diary...
My husband and I have a few days off work together. I have wanted to see the ceramic poppies at the Tower of London for a while. We decided to head up to London on one of our days off. As we'd been up to Coventry (blog post Dear Diary... An extra hour well spent) on Sunday, we decided to have a chilled out day on Monday (Dear Diary... Monday Meze).
So, we went to London on Tuesday. What a brilliant day to choose to go... The sky was blue and the sun was shining. Who would have thought we would be eating lunch and dinner and drinking cocktails al fresco at the end of October in England?!
We don't live too far from London if we drive, as we live so close to the main road into London. We do try to avoid public transport usually as it's not easy to get anywhere from where we're living.
We were going to drive to my husband's mum's house and walk to her nearest station as it's more central.
My husband did a bit of research online and worked out a route for us to be able to travel from ours.
First stop: to see the poppies! It was soooo busy! They were a beautiful sight and it's very touching.
We then took a walk to St Katherine's Dock and had a really nice lunch outside in the sunshine near all the pretty boats
To walk off our food, we went over Tower Bridge. We walked until we got to London Bridge station then we were on our way to the next part of our day...
We visited the Natural History Museum at South Kensington, where we had fun reading all the facts and playing on the interactive games!
Again, it was so busy everywhere - there were crowds and queues every way you turned.
We had dinner by candlelight
Cocktails
Total tourists... Trip to M & M World
What an absolutely perfect, fun-filled day out with my built-in best friend AKA my husband. His iPhone informed us we'd done 17,162 steps (my poor feet!) all in my new Kurt Geiger boots! (Previous blog Rule of Shopping).
