      Night at the Museums

      January 30, 2015 in England ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C

      It's the last Friday of the month, which means that Museum Lates are on!

      On Wednesday night it's the Science museum that opens its doors to the adults only. With a theme each month there are corresponding pop up events throughout the museum in between one night only bars, DJs and food stands.

      On Friday nights it's the natural history museum and the V&A which turns its lights on.

      I started in the natural history museum keen to see the dinosaurs all lit up. The building is just beautiful inside and out. A big dinosaur engulfs the opening to the museum, although apparently this will be changing to a whale soon.

      I explore the Darwin museum and a few other areas. Unfortunately the dinos were closed :(
      There was a meal area and bad here too, but instead of a DJ thru had a string ensemble - I think.

      From here I explored the V&A museum. A DJ welcomed you into this museum with the centre circle being utilised as a bar. You could explore the whole museum and they were opening a new artist tonight - although I can't remember who.

      My favourite exhibition was the .... They were some really ingenuous ideas for getting a message out. My favourite was the robot graffiti artist!

      Snow in London

      February 3, 2015 in England ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C

      It snowed in London today! The first snow fall of the season!

      I was walking up to the second floor in our house when something on the deck caught my eye. I looked closer to realise it was all covered in snow. I raced back down to the living room and pulled back the blinds to see the whole street covered in snow! Oh how excited I was!!

      I quickly facetimed Mum, who was with Gran and Grandad and promptly held out my phone to the street so they could see the amazing white glory for themselves. After a quick chat with them I rang Dad and showed him and his office up and down my street, before texting all of my Australian friends in London and telling them to get out of bed and see the snow.

      Ah it was such a wonderful morning!

      As luck would have it I was headed south today to Southampton to attend a careers event for work. It had snowed all across the English countryside and I happily sat looking out of the window all the way down, just ignored with the beautiful sites.

      When I left my house this morning I walked all through the snow to the tube station. Our station is above ground and it was such a site to see the big 'Kilburn' sign and the tracks all covered in snow.

      Snow in London is definitely a special moment to see.
