A few days ago we celebrated Mr M's birthday
roast chicken dinner and a big Victoria sponge with lots of candles...
Yesterday Mr M and I braved the cold and the snow
and took a train to London.
We crossed a famous bridge for the first time (I love bridges... don't know why)
to get to this place (and what an amazing place it is!!)
We spent hours in there feeding our minds. Mr M loves pop art...
so this exhibition was just up his street.
We mooched around, we watched, we laughed, we had a lovely unhurried lunch on the 7th floor
We had a lovely lovely day (despite Mr M not feeling very well at all) because you see... as the boys say "daddy is an artist", and he is.
We have fabulous artworks of his all over the house; this
and this
and many here
Isn't he great?
Happy birthday dear husband!!
(the small jars are full of sand collected on our holidays)
Whao you have a very cool husband!! Love the artwork, especially the second one (the one like a British flag)

Happy Birthday M! Hoped you waved to me as you clickety-clacked past. That bridge has to be the best approach to a gallery anywhere.
And yes, he is indeed an artist.

Love your last pic! Love your jars of sand. Love pop art. Would have loved to take the train to London with you, but there are no connections in Texas, sadly.

The happiest of birthdays to your husband. Looks like you had a great day in London.
Wow! He IS quite the artist, isn't he? I'm really impressed! When will he have his own work at the Tate?

Sound absolutely fabulous!
I LOVE the artwork! You are so lucky to have artwork like that surrounding you all day. And the sand in jars in a perfect memento from your holidays. I might have to start doing that myself.

Oh, he really is great! And I can see something of a shared aesthetic in there too..
Happy Birthday, Mr M!

I love that view of St Paul's...I feel a need to pull in to Paddington on the night train coming on! Hope Mr M is feeling better? Does he like Terry Frost too?

Your husband is very talented!
I can't believe there's someone else out there that collects sand/dirt from places they've been!

Oh my gosh! PLEASE have him start an etsy shop! I love his artwork so much.
