The Thirty-First of May Two Thousand and Eleven
Earl Grey and cheesecake at Caffé Nero a nice pause in the day before a spot of musical theatre - with puppets (can you guess what I'm going to see?) (Tea at a coffee place always seems like a treat. Mind you in Shanghai it felt a bit cheeky doing the 'Earl Grey - hot!' thang in a city filled with so many gorgeous local teas (end of globe trotting name drop))
And what a lovely day it's been, finishing off my extended Bank Holiday nicely. Went to the East Lancs Railway in Bury with 2 sons and 2 parents and saw a bit of steam (enthusiastic thumbs up from no 2 son as engine whooshed noisily). The plan was to pop to the Transport Museum over the road afterward. But horror! - we notice a poster saying the museum's only open Weds to Sun. Hoping that this might be overruled with it being half term we visit any way and are heartened as we see someone coming out. We enter and the very nice lady on tickets says they should be closed at she opened for one person - and then someone else came - and then we came. She had to switch the lights back on. But we had a great time, dressing up and enjoying the exhibits with no-one else there - our own private viewing. Felt like a celeb.
We'd been locked in so the nice museum lady had to let us out. My thanks to her for helping to make a good day.
Right, back tomorrow so the recommendations and more stream of consciousness stuff will return then.
More soonliest.
