Firstly, let me apologise for the tardiness of this entry. I have no valid excuse, other than the fact that this particular London Thing was rather uninspiring - but at least it showed us what things we can probably cross off our London list! So, the V&A museum. What did we see and learn? Well, we first wandered around the Fashion section, which wasn't terribly exciting although there were some fairly nice outfits, nothing that you'd wear today though! After our quick tour through wacky clothes we changed floors up and into the Europe section (nice and vague!). There we saw [View Full Entry]

With drifts of snow still covering the ground and hiding in crevices everywhere, we felt it was a perfect day for our visit to Highgate Cemetery.

And so the list began... from picnicking in hidden parks to the whispering gallery in St Paul's Cathedral; from lurking in Highgate Cemetery to touring abandoned underground stations, plus many more weird and wonderful things. The list was made. The dates were set. The mission was on. It's a London thing. [View Full Entry]
