Yes, it was for the Sky Garden...but they didn't check it, just scanned our print outs :lol:

It was a wonderful day, I enjoyed every single minute. It rained but it didn't stop us doing anything and in fact, according to my Fitbit, we walked just a touch under 14 miles in it. We started off by having a good walk around Hampstead, then got the tube over to Monument for the Sky Garden. If you're going to be in London book that! The views are amazing and the way that it's been designed to make it feel like a garden is so lovely...lots of plants, little terraces with places to sit, sofas with throws and cushions. It has a lovely relaxed feel to it. From there we walked along Brick Lane, looking at the street art, and then it was up to Camden for a mooch around the market and some food. We followed that by going to a pub which Tom had been to with friends before, The Angel on the City Rd. Really nice in there. Then we needed some souvenir tat for Joe so headed to Piccadilly Circus where we bought him a bottle opener keyring :P before getting back to Euston for the train home.

:D

We know, Saundra. At the Brum meet Jo had no ID so could not get served at the bar ... so she never got a round in! ;)

Sorry, Jo, could not resist. :P :P :P

It sounds as though you had a great day, rain or no rain. When I help M&S move I must have look at the Sky Gardens, they sound just my thing.

Oh I'm so glad you had a fantastic day Jo - as Kaz said, a definite 'special memory day'. That's just fantastic. I also think it's great that you and Tom had such a perfect 1:1 day x
