Natural History Museum and “My Neighbour Totoro” at the Barbican – 27/01/24

“Portraits of Dogs” at Wallace Collection – 19/08/23
We’re back in London after our trip to Turkey and what better to do than something really Central London-y? Someone on a local group had shared an invite for a “quiet hour” session at the Wallace Collection and I’d booked … Continue reading
“Science Fiction: to the Edge of Imagination” at the Science Museum – 29/05/23

London With a Hangover – 19/01/19
Not a proper hangover…it’s been a long time since I had one of those. But certainly the slight grogginess that comes the morning after a Highams Park Parents’ curry night and makes you regret offering to remove the children from … Continue reading

Museum of London – 07/01/19
Congratulations all of you for making it through the Christmas holidays! All of you who don’t have kids at the same school as my kids, that is. Cause we’re still on holidays and end only just in sight. Which is … Continue reading

Happy New Year LWATers!
Which is my way of saying I don’t have much to report but wanted to wish you all a very happy 2019. The reason I don’t have much to report is that since my last post I’ve either been … Continue reading
