The weather wasn't great
(crooked signs are really irritating... aren't they?)
The sweater I took on the train with me required the frogging of two very loooooong rows and the smell coming from the seats in front wasn't helping the mood. (Who in their right mind has skittles and fizzy Vimto for breakfast?)
I felt slightly guilty too as of the five boys I left at home one had a stomach bug (Mr M), one a bad back (my dad) and three were totally hyper excited on their first day of half-term... an interesting combination.
But then I got a text from a friend on a train too and the day straightened itself.
We hadn't seen each other since before Christmas and we had a lot to talk about, you know... the world doesn't put itself to right. That at least is my excuse for when we got on the Tube we were so busy talking that we forgot to get off at the right stop and had to totally retrace our steps!!!
We visited the 'Threads of feeling' exhibition and the Foundling museum
(oops, busted... we had scones and cream too. Well I had. Ali the virtuous, opted out of the cream...)
The exhibition is very moving and left me wanting to see more and know more. I strongly recommend going to see it if you haven't done so already.
The day got a bit more mundane after that... we popped into the Persephone store - which I had never seen before - and then hit the shop for a healthy dose of retail theraphy.
Yup.
A good day.
Sounds like a good day. I'm glad you kept on with it even though things weren't the best at home!
What is the "cream" that's on your scone? It looks sooo yummy.

It sounds like a great day. The scone looks very delicious (I haven't had lunch yet and that's not helping).

It was a really good day - much better than today which has involved much manual labour swapping bedrooms around (and dealing with cobwebs!)

Well we nearly bumped into each other! I went to Persephone on Friday after work for the first time too...
