These are two shots I manged to take of the living breathing and moving T-Rex at the Natural History Museum in London. What you can't see is the yellow eye focusing on us as we creeped past! The snorts, groans, movement of the forearms as well as the distant sound of cows in distress (t-rex's dinner) made me quite nervous. Clive and I stayed in London for a few days over my birthday. We saw loads inc Science museum, tate modern, portrait gallery, cinema (Saw George Clooney's oscar winning turn in Syriana (torture scene not for the squeamish) and John Soames museum in Lincolns Inn (Clive's favourite and totally recommended). You have to ring the front door bell and ask if you can go in - brilliant.
On the day we went on the London Eye (a beautiful clear English Spring day & the Eye doesn't make a sound - weird), had a trip on the Thames river cruiser, then a fantastic japanese lunch on the South Bank, look round Shakespeare's globe theatre, couple of pubs (on St Martins Lane) and then went off the to theatre to see a fabulous play called 'Pete & Dud: Come Again'. It was all about well Pete & Dud (sketches inc some Beyond the Fringe, bloody Greta Garbo, Alan A-Dale, the end of the world is nigh, and some Derek & Clive). It was really well done and we left with tears running down our faces and so much more than just impressions. Plus we had really good seats the actors were only 10 feet or so away and at the same level as us so they could make eye contact (eek)!!
Thanks for the birthday card Grandma & Grandad and ever so glad you had a lovely time on your Grand Tour . I like the Charles Dickens style episodes!
