London

I spent the day in London yesterday, Marc was taking part in the Vertical Rush for Shelter the race up Tower 42 so we decided to make a day of it. Congratulations to everyone who took part and well done for raising so much money for such a great cause. Following the race we took the tube and went to the Science Museum it was the first time both of us have been since we were young, it was great fun. They now have so many interactive activities which were great fun and we enjoyed learning a few facts. Following lunch we went to the Natural History Museum (we had a very educational day!!) again so much fun!!
It is so different going to London for social reasons rather than business, I always laugh at myself when I go to London on business as something magical seems to happen on the train. I get on at Ascot walking at a normal pace smiling and talking to people, I get on the train I sit and look out the window watching the world go by not aware of any changes that are happening. Then the conductor announces we are arriving at Waterloo... I get off the train my head is down and I can't look up and I am walking faster than I can normally run!!? My day is spent like this there is no stopping this until I get off the train back in Ascot. Please tell me this happens to you??
So it was good to be relaxed and enjoy London and really see it like a tourist, to stroll down the pavements looking around at all the people and the buildings, we sat and had a long lunch watching the world go by. It was a great day.
