It was half term last week so we went off to Surrey to stay with our friends who live conveniently close to London. The main reason for going was that we had a voucher for the Rainforest Cafe to use up before October and we wanted to avoid the horrendous summer holidays in London.
We started off at the Science Museum because they have a special interactive Bob the Builder show on aimed at 3 to 5 year olds. Perfect for us as we have one each of those. They loved it, we got to have a rest and watch while they played with Bob, Wendy and Spud.
Then we were off to the Rainforest Cafe where we had a great lunch and indulged in a Margarita which was either almost alcohol free or else my tolerence level is too high…
Hamleys was the next stop and our very restrained children only spent a tenner each! I spent more than that on an Etch-a-Sketch which has already broken.
Anyway, knitting wise not much has happened except that we went to Borders on Oxford Street and I bought Knit 1 magazine by the people at Vogue Knitting and it’s brilliant. Full of great patterns and articles so I am going to subscribe.
I am hoping to finish my Rowan 4ply cotton summer crochet top from the current Rowan magazine tonight. It’s suddenly summer and although I started it in February so I’d be well ahead of myself, it still isn’t finished.
