Our Friends in the North

...well, family really. My mum and sister Colette popped down for a few days. It was Colette's birthday on Thursday (she looks 27 but is really 48!) so for a surprise birthday present we took her to see The Lion King musical. If you're in Warrington you probably got a text from Colette in the interval telling you where she was!




On Friday myself and mum visited the British Museum. The incentive for this was to find out what benefits Mum was entitled to for being a paid-up Friend of the British Museum, specifically what the 'Friends Room' was like. But our dreams of a Pall Mall Gentleman's Club-type lounge with plush red leather seats were dashed when we discovered the room was more like a dentists' waiting room and about the same size. However, the Museum are hoping to buy some curtains for the Room soon...

So we decamped to the famous Reading Room instead:



Mother and daughter have now been safely returned to Warrington.
