Kathleen is mega intelligent! Like MASTERS level clever. Today she graduated with a masters in International Child Development from King’s College London. She’s been working so hard on it over the summer and since she came back to London in November 2015. I am extremely proud of her. With the title of “Health Rights of […]
Who doesn’t love chocolate on a Saturday morning after Christmas? Not us! As part of my Christmas present, Kathleen booked us for the Chocolate Ecstasy Tour. It was a three hour tour around the chocolatiers of London. Starting off at Hotel Chocolat’s School of Chocolate in Covent Garden, we visited high chocolate quality stores in Soho […]
You might be thinking “Hey! KidZania is a city for 4 – 14 year olds with more than 60 real life role play adventures. Why did they go there?!” And you’d be correct. It was an adults evening where adults pretended to be kids pretending to be adults. I went to KidZania for the first […]
During Kathleen’s family’s visit, Mum Susan booked for us to go to Aladdin The Musical at the Prince Edward Theatre. It was a fantastic show, which the Genie character stole! They added a few new songs, and switched out Abu the monkey and Rajah the tiger for three companions. Iago, Jafar’s parrot in the Disney […]
Kathleen’s mum and three aunts visited London for a week. One of the things I organised was a highflying view of London from The London Eye. Situated on the South Bank, it has some great views across central London, and beyond. We boarded around 3:45pm, which was great, as the sun set over London at 4pm, […]

The purpose of our mission is subversion. Subversion properly applied is one of the most potent weapons one can use. That’s the premise of an evening that Kathleen booked when […]
On a cold Saturday morning, we ventured down to the South Bank to finish off Kathleen’s visit to all the South Bank attractions by popping in to the London Aquarium. Later in the afternoon, we made our way to Baker Street to Madame Tussauds. The waxwork museum features a bunch of famous faces, a Sherlock […]
Next in the theme park adventures is Chessington World of Adventures. It’s a theme park just inside the M25 and one I’ve never been to. Christopher and Rachel joined us and picked us up from the station. The weather was going to be wet and wild, which matched much of the day! The park was […]
As part of my birthday present, Kathleen bought us tickets to a Pop Up Screens showing. We chose Jurassic World, mainly because it fit in our calendar but also because Kathleen hadn’t seen it. I found out just before the showing started, in Ravenscourt Park, that Kathleen in fact hadn’t seen any of the Jurassic films! As […]
When I knew Kathleen was coming back to London, even for a short time, I went looking for kooky things for to do. When I discovered it, axe throwing went to the top of the list! Tucked away in an a large warehouse in Whitechapel, London, are six targets and a bunch of axes. This […]
