Hello friends
Bit of a long blog post today - hope you don't mind! Pop that kettle on...!
Some pictures of our day in London for Elliott's birthday yesterday.
Setting off on the train...
Impressive display of Olympic banner/flags.
We found the theatre but then...
the rain ...lots of it - thunder, lightening ..
Despite the weather we had a brilliant day.
I do treasure these occasional days out with my boys.

Some pictures of our day in London for Elliott's birthday yesterday.
Setting off on the train...
Convent Garden, look it was sunny! Plenty of people watching the street performers.
So we took refuge and found 'Scoop' - seriously delicious ice cream!
Back at the theatre, we attended performance number...
It was really good. I highly recommend it.
On our way home...a rather damp but still smiling Elliott!
I do treasure these occasional days out with my boys.
Back to craft....
Great excitement in the house today!!

Hi Christine, it looks like Elliott enjoyed his day out with his mum for his birthday. Such precious moments to enjoy when they are young because soon they want to be out with friends rather than mum. The ice cream looks delicious sadly the rain came to spoil the day.

Morning Christine, What beautiful pictures, so glad that you both enjoyed your day trip together, and I bet the Theatre was fantastic too. What a lovely birthday prezzie for Elliott, that you could enjoy too ha ha !! Shame about the rain. The ice cream looks yummy, we are off to a fund raising event at Church this afternoon, and it's Ice Cream Sunday, we have it every year, this year we are fund raising for a new heating system, we haven't had any heating for 2 years, the winters we are dressed for the 'arctic' ha ha. Hope this rain stops for this afternoon ha ha.
The box is beautiful and those felt flowers are gorgeous.
Have a lovely Sunday. Lots of love from Patricia xx

Wonderful photos Christine, I spent a few days away with my eldest daughter for her 30th and it was lovely to spend the time together, children grow up so fast!
This box is lovely especially the felt flowers. Enjoy the rest of the bank holiday weekend x
Looks like you had a fabulous day out, I always enjoy a trip up to London as there is always so much to do and see.
Hi Christine, what great pics of your lovely Elliott, he is growing up fast - where does the time go. Looks like you had a lovely day, despite the weather. Slightly envious of that fabulous ice cream....thank you so much for the chance to win some sticky dots. Hope you enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday. Crafty hugs, Anne x

Hi Christine,
Looks like you had a great time - that dark chocolate ice-cream looks decidedly wicked!
Morning Christine, looks like you both had a fabulous time at the theatre. love the box and the flowers. xx hazel
Great to hear about your lovely day with Elliott, shame about the weather but that's always the risk here isn't it, however the ice cream looks delicious. The new adhesive sounds good, adhesive is the thing it is most difficult to get right I think so I am always ready to try something new.
It would seem that a great day out was had by all. Fantastic. Was the chocolate icream yours Christine? Yum yum. Great news about the adhesive rolls too will have a look. You do spoil us Christine with all your help and knowledge.
Have a great long weekend.

Hello Christine, sounds like you both had a fab day for your son's birthday despite the rain. The sticky dot runner sounds great & would be perfect for sticking down envelopes that I am turning into gift bags. mmmm wonder where I got that idea from!!!
Oh bless - doesn't Elliott have a lovely smile Christine? You both sound as if you had a really good time. The weather could have been nicer for you but I don't think it looks as if either of you were bothered!!! As for that ice-cream - coooo that looks good!!
Hugs to you and yours

Happy Birthday Elliott. It looks like you all had a wonderful even with the rain. I think your ice cream looked wonderful and what fun way to celebrate with a great showing of Deathtrap. I first saw the movie of it back in 1983 and it has been one of all time faves of Agitha Christies. I too love all the pictures you took on your wonderful day out. I love days like that with my two children. There is just nothing better. lol... Thanks for the chance to win. Hugs, Lisa G
