Heavenly Crafts

Well, my daughter and I have just got back from a fantastic three day break in London. This time, we visited the British Museum, the Natural History Museum, St Paul's Cathedral, the Globe Theatre, the Clink Museum, Buckingham Palace, as well as Oxford Street, Regents Street, Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square.

DD managed to fit in some shopping time, and we saw "Zorro, the musical" and "Jersey boys". Both performances were good, but if ever you get the chance, you really should go and see Jersey Boys. The audience was dancing in the aisles and the cast had a standing ovation. The language was somewhat ripe at times, and some of the jokes/innuendos would not have been understood by my 12 year old (who thankfully wasn't there!), but the music was awesome. It was as if Franky Valli and the Four Seasons were singing right in front of us. I would definitely recommend it - just close your ears when they use the "F" word!

DD and I very rarely use the underground when in London, which meant that for the first two days, we walked everywhere. I reckon we did at least 12 miles the first day with another 10 the second day. Mind you, every time we tried to work out how far we walked, the estimates kept going up! We only managed about 5 miles the last day and succumbed to the lure of the underground as our legs and feet had just about had it! I am sitting here at my computer now and can still feel my bones aching and the blisters on my feet throbbing! It was definitely all worth it though :)!

Anyhow, after those few days away, I came back and finished off my part in the ADSDesigners blog train: Hurry up and get here, Spring! Here is a preview of my part in this. Firstly, the elements:
