London Calling!

Hi Everyone!
Nicole Kidman was looking decidedly cold; Rafael Nadal smokin hot ( as the young uns say!?)
Where was I? Madame Tussauds of course! Had a grand day out that started badly... my app to access my London Explorer Attraction ( paid for) wouldn't let me in SO...I had to enlist the help of Leroy and Monika , staff @ MT's. They got me more data, and were so helpful, getting me access to the waxess!!
While the other global touroids were taking selfies with Royalty or stars of sport and screen, I was making small talk with Angelina Jolie, and being delighted that I was the same height as Tom Cruise.
I then went on the ride "Spirit of London" which took me on a sawn off hackney cab down into the bowels of history like a ghost train. I went past Elizabethan rogues, the Great Fire of London, and the Blitz..all in my own time machine with sound effects.
But the highlight for me was getting to sit next to Will.I.AM on the big red chair from The Voice ( Sat eve talent show with swivelly chairs and a red button).
Meanwhile my husband was en route to The Postal Museum ( with Royal Mail trains) and then he went walking in the Lea Valley.. near where the 2012 Olympic stadiums were.
Being in East Anglia, we visited David's parentals and sister and family despite the freezing temperatures and falling snow. These Englandshire folks aren't as hardy as we Scots. Ha! ha!
Byeeeee....keep warm...
