The lego exhibition has been on in London for a while now and I finally managed to visit with the grandkids. I have to say it was better than I expected. The artist's name is Nathan Sawaya. Here's a few of the exhibits.
This blog records my wanderings, achievements and disasters since retiring in 2011.

London in bloom
Ever hopeful deckchairs awaiting bottoms to take their place to watch the large screen which will show matches from Wimbledon.

Sewing machine museum
When I visited Tooting Bec for my 'Above the Underground' challenge, I came across this museum. I'd never heard of a sewing machine museum before. Anyway it is only open for a couple of hours on the first Saturday of the month. So last Saturday as I was in the area I decided to have a look.
It turned out to be far more interesting than I expected.
There were loads of machines everywhere. All neatly labelled. Many types I recognised from my youth but others I wouldn't even know they were sewing machines.
This one was owned by Queen Victoria. I doubt she ever used it except as a plaything.

Moth
Spotted this moth on a window. It is the Buff-tip moth (had to look it up). I've never seen one before and never likely to if it stays on its favourite branch of a silver birch tree.
