Radical rebellions and pizza

Today we decided to go out for the day.....

....so we went and caught a bus!!

And off we went!!

But when the bus pulled into the bus stop, the wing mirror clipped the bus shelter window and the window exploded with a big "BOOOOSSSHHHH!!!"  There's loads of broken glass - and a broken wing mirror on the bus!

But nobody was hurt so that's good!  We're off to get a train!

We didn't have to wait long - and we got a window seat right at the front of the train!

We made a video on the way!

But we got so engrossed in the book we were reading, we almost forgot to get off at the other end!

We're in London - and we missed crossing the Thames!!

We had to use the facilities - we gave them a CD!

And then went to get a bus.  But not from over there!!

From round here!

We didn't get that one.

We got this one!!  They got a floppy disc!

Wonder where we're going.........

We got off at this little park!  We left them a jazzed up vinyl record!!

We're at the Tate Britain!!!!  We've been here before!

We're going to see an art expedition about William Blake!!

AND we got in half price on our art pass!!

Excellent!

Most of the pictures here were really small - the big ones were slightly bigger than A3 size.  But most of them were miniatures.

That one has a tiger in it!

A lot of them were religious "doom and gloom" pictures, about Satan eating you up and that kind of stuff.

But we recognised this one!!!!  There's a big statue outside the British Library that's based on this picture!!!!!  We didn't know William Blake drew it first over 200 years ago!!!!

See - told you they were miniatures!

We think that's the three headed dog from the Harry Potter movie.

And that's his most famous picture, saved till the very last room!!!

After looking at the expedition, we had a look round the gift shop (we'll show you later).....

.....and then used the facilities!  They got a CD!

Shall we go to lunch now?  OK!!  Let's get another bus!

We didn't have to wait long - and they got a floppy disc too!

And we got off here!!!  We decided to walk somewhere we'd been to before!

And we found another drain cover on the way!

It's just down here!

There's that hotel we stayed at last time we went to the Tate Britain!!!

We went in here - but there wasn't any room left for two weeny little mice!!!!

They were completely full up!!!!!

Shall we try this place on the corner then?

Yeh!!!  OK!

We got a table by the window and we got some bread and butter and spicy olives to nibble on.

And we got a Marinara pizza and a fizzy drink for lunch!

It was yummy!

We even had tiramisu for pudding!!!!

We were a bit disappointed it didn't have any alcohol in it though.......

Then we decided to walk back to the station as it's just up the road.  We left a CD on the railings here!

Not far to go now.....

See?!  That's the back of Victoria Station there!

We didn't have to wait long for this train either!!!  We got another window seat as well!!

They got a floppy disc!

We tried making a video of crossing the Thames.....

.........but Andrea insisted on mucking it up!!!

We watched the scenery go by whilst  Andrea was reading her book though.....

And then woke her up when we got to the South Downs!!

And we're home!!!

Only five minutes for the next bus - that's not long!

We left a CD on this one!

And got off here - just a short walk down here to get home!!

We found some pretty yellow flowers too!  I love them!

And here we are!  We got some postcards and a badge!!!

That was a fun day out, even if it was a short one!!
