Being a bird loving family I couldn't not post these cuties. Also from the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration. His illustrations always look as if he just knocked them out in minutes but it was interesting to see his process broken down and realise just what did go into making something that looks so spontaneous.

A couple of weeks back I visited the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration with my pal Pennychoocards I loved the series of Macbeth illustrations, there were many more but these were the only ones I could get decent pics of (the others were too high!) We had a lovely day, it's a lovely place and the coffee shop was great too. Definitely worth a visit.

Every year I mean to book some Open House tickets but always forget, or I'm busy doing something else. This year I've made it down to the Royal College of Physicians to have a little nosey around.

Just waved off on his flight to Melbourne. Managed to hold myself together thankfully. We will all miss him terribly but know it's a massive opportunity for him and his career. Looking forward to hearing about his adventures and of course to seeing him again when he makes it back for a visit.

This week we popped into town to see the Marilyn Monroe exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery but had late tickets and time to kill so we stayed on the Northern Line down to Battersea Power Station and caught an Uber boat back into town. I'd often seen the Uber boats when I've been walking over the Golden Jubilee Bridge on my way to meet my pal for our catch-up coffees at the Royal Festival Hall and thought they looked like fun. They really do shift!!
A fun day being tourists in our own town. How many London landmarks have I managed to fit into one post 🤣

The only photo I took today at the NationalStreetRodAssociation Supernats.
Would love to know the story behind this Corvette, be nice to think it was going to stay like this and not be perfectly restored 🧐🤔

We have been attempting to walk the Capital Ring for a while now and this week we actually managed to complete section 11 (of 15) This section is relatively close to home for us running from Hendon Central to Highgate. It was interesting because despite being so close to home we walked through a lot of green spaces we had no idea were there! This photo was taken literally 100m from the A406 North Circular and if it wasn't for the traffic noise it would have been idyllic.
Almost the entire section was through green spaces - amazing considering we live in North London.
