Roar...

Well, we just spent a couple of nights near London. It was great fun, we went down on Wednesday morning and stopped in Cambridge to do some shopping on the way there, I love it, it's so beautiful and historic. Then we eventually got to our travelodge in Ilford. We went and got yummy chinese from the local take-away which was fun. Thursday we took the tube into London to go to the Victoria and Albert museum. I had found out that they had some ansel Adams prints there so I thought I'd check them out. I went up to the print room and ordered five boxes and spent several hours mulling over them. It's such an incredible resource, you can just go and ask to see these priceless prints! Definitely going back.
After looking at just over 30 images we went to the South Kensington Crêperie, we shared a savoury and had a sweet one each. SO YUMMY! Then we made our way to covent garden and mooched around for a while, we ate dinner in this little pub called the white heart i think, it was so lovely and friendly. In the evening we went to see the Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre which was amazing, such an incredible performance, especially from the young children in it. I love the music from the show aswell. After a few minutes you stopped seeing the characters as people dressed up as animals, and the just became animals. An amazing show!
Friday morning we left and went to Ikea to go and get a new computer table from me as mum's cousin is giving me his old Mac G4. Very exciting. We got somewhat lost on the way there, it was very confusing to find, and I was driving, but it's all good experience. We had yummy meatballs for luch. We got home at around 5pm, then I went out for a party at the place I work for my mates 18th Birthday which was a great laugh.

I'm so impressed you drove to the IKEA! We've gotten lost going there ourselves. Not an easy trip, but you know how much we love IKEA, and their meatballs. Mmmmm. And THEN, a G4! How very exciting!!! you know who to come to for tech support, right?
