The Big Smoke

Last weekend we visited my sister in London for my nephews christening which was a lovely day. My sister had created the most elaborate cake based on Noah's ark complete with a very effeminate lion. Matthew my lovely nephew was very well behaved although he didn't much like the whole cold font water episode. The next day we pondered over visiting Northcote road as it looks so tempting on Hens blog but instead we settled on Libertys and the British Museum. Libertys was a joy as always and dare I say it there was the christmas shop open and ready for buyers! We managed to see the Aztec exhibition at TBM where my youngest nearly destroyed some artifacts by chucking her half eaten apple at it...the guards were not amused! and we had to visit the Egyptian exhibits too. The only horrid part was getting back onto the M4 to come home at rush hour...not a sensible idea! I enjoy visiting London but I'm always glad to get home, everyone seems in such a rush there and there's rarely any good will or manners especially on the tube. Strangely its not the young but rather the middle aged businessmen who avoid your glance when they push past or don't give up their seats to the elderly...I'm sure the decline of civilisation will start on the victoria line tube!!! Whinge finished....have a great week x
