As it was my Wife's birthday yesterday, we decided to treat ourselves, let our hair down a bit and spend the day in London doing a little light-shopping and grazing "up the smoke", so it was an early start with some long shadows at the train station!
First stop the V&A museum to check out a couple of things there. The boys headed off to the video-games exhibition and the girls took a look at a fashion and nature show. Great way to spend a couple of hours, I never run out of things to interest me at that place. After that we popped over to Soho for some burgers at Patty and Bun and then on to the shops around Covent Garden, the boys took a slight detour over to Shoreditch to have a look at the new bar that Rick Astley (yes him of rick-roll fame) and Mikkeller have opened, it was suitably rammed, standing room only, but nice enough (needed more seats!) After perusing Box Park and a few other hipster places we ended up meeting up around Holborn where we had a Belgian (mussels and chips) feast at Belgo, bit plastic but nice enough. Got home about 10 pm having walked about 17 km - going to feel tired tomorrow, lucky we all get an extra hour in bed!
