Oh my Robin Hood!

I made a little trip to the museum of courts and justice. It was a little scary and spoke a lot about death, the death penalty and hanging people for their crimes, in that sense it was slightly morbid...

There were other fun rbight parts though specifically designed for kids which I actually liked the most, I got to dress up in little Maid Marian hat and there were jester hats too.

Maybe the funnest or happiest part was where you could take a leaf and stick it to the wall and on the leaf write what Robin Hood meant to you.

There were a whole array of ideas but most of them linked back to justice, but I just lvoed how fun and textured the wall looked with all the elaves with the ideas on them.

The Robin Hood statue however, gave me the creeps!

Braving London transport and real dinosaurs

I've been trying to avoid going into London during the Olympics because it's estimated that an extra 1 million people will be there, which means a whole lot of people crammed into those London Underground carriages, but we decided to brave it in the end to visit The Natural History Museum and would just avoid the Central Line to try and avoid any Olympic rushes. This plan worked well on the way there, but on the way back we got a little more unlucky and was rammed into the underground carriages like sardines, anywho we had a lovely and _-*culturally enriching*-_ day, the best part was seeing the Dinosaurs!

Then some strange, huge and scary biological statues...



It was so huge that we had no chance of getting around it all in the day, they had sections for fossils, gem stones, mammals, bugs, birds- so much accessible knowledge that you would be a genius if you read and digested it all and the weirdest and most wonderful part is that the elaborate and beautiful museum was free but there was lots of places to donate to support the work that they do.

In the day we ate an amazing Mexican near Angel, London- and in the evening at some fancy french, it was presented so beautifully on the plate that I wanted to take out my phone and steal a snap but I was a little embaressed as it was very quiet and 'proper'

Climbing a castle, cathedral and boat

It was a beautiful, sunny day so we decided to make the most of it and visit some tourist 'hot spots'. We visited a castle which was impressive, but also a little bit scary as it was tall and crumbling. I took these pictures because the arches were still in tact and I loved them! If I really imagined, I felt like I was in the place where A Game of Thrones was set ( I really love that tv show) it was wodnerful and majestical and I think would be so perfect on a warm evening if the top part was lined in candles and lanterns!

Then we headed to a museum that had this kind of 'immitation boat' I thought it was really funny because it looked like real water behind me! I assure you if it was I would not have been so brave as to sit on the edge!

Then there was a part where you could 'drive' the boat, but of course whatever way you turned the steering wheel, the screen projecting the water in front did not change, so you couldn't have a crash-tastrophe

To finish off, we had a peaceful visit to the cathedral, here you can see I'm making a wish and a prayer with the candles!
