Bonsoir readers.

Well The Mister and I went to London at the weekend. Even though I didn't live in London before I used to go in every now and then. I hadn't realised how much I was missing it until I went back. We went to stay with Cal and it was fab to catch up, we drank wine, gossiped and wandered around near her flat. It was lovely!

On Saturday we went to the Maps exhibition at the British Library with a few people from the Ship of Fools. That was follwed by a little lunch somewhere-or-other (no idea where!) and then The Mister and I went to HMS Belfast. I felt like we should actually go and do something touristy! HMS Belfast was really interesting although the slight swell coupled with going up and down ladders into the bowels of the ship made me feel quite queasy.

On Saturday evening we went to see Penn and Teller at The Hammersmith Apollo. I didn't massively want to go, but I have to say that it was AMAZING! They were so clever and funny and I just couldn't take my eyes off them when they were performing their illusions and tricks. It was brilliant! So that ended an extremely long and very full day.

On Sunday we went for a little wander in the morning and then The Mister and I made our way to the train, via a little lunch with a couple of my cousins. We travelled back to Leeds in First Class. I never want to travel cattle class again.

It was such a fab weekend. The perfect mix of seeing friends, going to fab events and having some time to ourselves. Perfect!!!
