The Tanks

Also whilst in London we popped into Tate Modern to escape a sudden downpour and discovered The Tanks, their new exhibition space.
The oil tanks of the former power station have been developed into a very atmospheric underground network of concrete rooms - very dark and strange down there!

The boys loved drawing on acetate and projecting their pictures onto the concrete walls - such a cool idea!

A day in the city..

I'm beginning to think we're not cut out for village life - we spent yesterday in London and it was so exciting - especially to see it through the boys' eyes - something new and surprising around each corner.

But maybe if you live somewhere exciting it becomes less exciting and you stop being surprised? 

A case of the grass is always greener maybe?

Who knew you could hand feed squirrels??

Appointment in London

Yesterday Mark and I had an appointment here-----



Yes - that's Australia House - maybe the flag gave it away? We still walked straight past it the first time.

We live in a little village surrounded by hills and other little villages. And a few small towns.

So we get really excited when we go anywhere that has buildings over three storeys high. And escalators.

And London is so exciting at the moment! Look at some of the exciting things we saw -

 

108 people dressed as giant pandas!

Pianos in the street!

A giant baobab tree made from fabric!

And loads of cool stuff on the South Bank

And the most exciting thing?
The sun shone all day :)
