    Spare of the Moment

    October 22, 2024 in England ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

    I'm having a spare of the moment adventure!
    I'm going to see Marilyn-The Exhibition, I've been a fan of hers since I was 18/19 years old.
    I haven't been to Arches London Bridge before so that's going to be interesting to explore!Read more

  • Time to see Marilyn!

    October 25, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    When I got to London, I jump straight into a taxi and off I went to see my Lovely Marilyn.
    The Arches were warm but I didn't care because I was taking in everything that was in front of me.
    I saw clothes, scripts, books etc all well kept.
    I liked that they played clips and had some of her quotes on the wall as well.
    They had a walk of fame with her films on the stars and at the end of the hall was her handprints from the Chinese Theater.

  • Gin Time!

    October 25, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    There was alot of stuff in a small space so it only took me about 45 minutes to get round, I did go round a couple of times just in case I missed anything and to read everything.
    The only things that were replicas were her beautiful gold dress and her JFK dress, still beautiful to see!
    I went to the gift shop and got a lot of stuff because of course I did haha.
    Now time for some gin before I decide where to go for lunch.

  • On My Way Home

    October 25, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    After lunch I had some time to kill so I went into WH Smiths.
    I arrived at my platform at 2:30 so I'm ready to board my train at 3:07.
    I've had a lovely, memorable day seeing personal stuff from Marilyn and easy transport.
    I got home at 4:15, good to get home before it got dark and I didn't need to rush anything.

  • Carluccios

    October 25, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    When I got out of the taxi, I walked around St Pancras trying to find an Italian restaurant called Carluccios.
    I walked in the opposite direction but I soon found it next to the famous statue of the couple.
    I had some lovely pasta and a cola, paid the bill and now wait for my 3:07 train to take me home.

    I had an amazing time, shorter day than I expected but saw lots of cool things.
    Got lots of nice stuff to remember the day and the food, gin and transport were no problem at all.
