day out in london...

Went to London yesterday to celebrate Mr Skene's birthday.

In order to save a wee bit of money, we decided to drive to their house. What I hadn't realised, was that this meant driving right through the centre of London. Yes, our lovely old Escort even drove down Knightsbridge, passed Harrods! :o)

We finally arrived in Surrey Quays sometime after 1.00pm. After a quick lunch (yummy toasted sandwiches) we headed off for a trip to The Science Museum.

Its fab you don't have to pay to get in to the museums now and provided us with hours of fun. I learnt that I don't know too much about energy (oops) but I did learn the best type of wheels to use on a railway! Who said education wasn't fun ;o)

When the museum chucked us out, we headed off in search of food before we made our way to The Yorkshire Grey pub, where the festivities for Skene's birthday would take place.

The next morning was Skene's birthday and Jo treated us all to a very tasty breakfast - bagels with a choice of smoked salmon & cream cheese or bacon and egg (or for the boys, one of each)

After breakfast, we said our goodbyes and headed for home. This time it was my turn to navigate which was not an easy task due to the one way systems and trying to read the directions backwards!

We finally made it home in just over an hour. The drive to and from London wasn't as bad as I thought and we'd certainly do it again.

A small selection of photos were taken to capture the day.

Happy 27th Birthday Skene! You're now officially in your late 20's! :o)
