London: Davie Bowie Exhibition at the V&A

This weekend saw my mum and I going to the V&A Museum to see David Bowie's exhibition. It was absolutely fantastic! I booked tickets in advance so we obviously got straight in (after accidentally cutting the queue without realising..oops!) It took us about two hours to go around and we saw all of his outfits and costumes. We each has headsets which played his music at certain points to correspond with what we were looking at. It was all incredible. Right at the end, we go into this large room which played his live videos and recordings in small intervals. Once the screen stopped, behind them you could see all of his most famous costumes. It was just fantastic. Plus, right at the end when I took my headset off, I managed to get it completely tangled in my curls which both my mum and the security woman had to help un-tangle. Smooth.

Unfortunately, I couldn't take many photos because people were stood around with hawk-eyes making sure you didn't take any. Such a shame!

We bought lots of things from the gift-shop including this plectrum :) 

After the exhibition, Dan met us for lunch at Nando's and we filled our bellies with chicken before heading to Harrods. I planned to take Mum to the chocolate cafe, Godvia -so we did just that. We accidentally got lost in harrods and ended up in the art section looking at moving sculptures for £83,000. Once we found our way and bounced our way through the ever so soft carpets, and having listened to an opera singer leaning over the escalator from a window much like the one of Romeo and Juliet, we found the cafe.

Oh how handsome. 

Mum and I ordered the chocolate fondu with yummy things to dip it. It was absolutely gorgeous. We couldn't finish it all though so we had to eventually admit defeat.

So good! 

After that we headed to Covent Garden and looked around before walking to Trafalgar Square to see the big blue cockerel. Once we stopped there to take a few photos and have a sit down, we headed past downing street and went to see Big Ben. After a few photos there we decided to head home since we were all pretty exhausted.

It was so nice to have my Mum down and spend time with her. She finally got to see mine and Dan's flat which she couldn't stop saying how lovely it was :) 

Thanks for coming down Momma :) X

So the week started with Willow thinking she was giddy-ing up like a horse. Bless her, she enjoyed the sunshine so much.

Then on Saturday when I was on the way to Doncaster to see the other half, the train conductor clipped my ticket as usual, but not with a usual clip. It was a little train! Made me smile so much!

Our time in London started with much needed cuddles on one of the comfiest beds ever. Dan and I didn't wanna move! 

My first day alone whilst Dan was working was literally me not leaving the bed until I was hungry and had to get food. It was a pretty awesome day of much needed rest and sleep.

BUT! The day after, on Tuesday I headed into London town. I must've looked like a right tourist taking photos of everything. My day started at the butterfly park just outside the Natural History Museum.

They are so beautiful !

After that I headed to the History Museum and then the Science Museum.

I thought this was quite interesting; Go Mary!

The next lot of photos are from Trafalgar Square. Then I headed to St. Paul's Cathedral to light a candle then went to the Modern Tate and onto South-bank before heading home.

I've bought tickets for my Dad and I to see his exhibition in August!

St. Paul's Cathedral 

I picked these 1st Edition Penguin and Pelican books. 1942 and 1950. I loved them so much I had to get them. There was a little book-market and litho-prints available and they had a huge range of penguin books and old books that are no longer in print. Was quite interesting- any book lovers should definitely check it out.

When I got home I enjoyed my love-tub chico pudding :) Yum!

Dan took me and a few other friends out with...

THE NANDOS BLACK CARD!

Yes, the Nando's black card does exist! And yes, we got a lot of free chicken, and yes.... it was delicious!

Lucky us :)
