Marc, Heather and Elise visited for a
couple of days and we got our first cuddles with the baby who was very smiley
and well behaved. We took the Friday off work and spent it with the family going
to the Fashion on the Ration exhibition at the newly restored at the Imperial
War Museum. The show was very interesting and we were impressed with how the
atrium had been redeveloped.
Before the museum we had lunch at the
Three Stags opposite the museum in the upstairs dining room which we had to
ourselves for much of the time. Here they had some interesting wallpaper that
on first glance looked old fashioned but was in fact using modern visual
inspiration.
The following day after seeing our
guests as they head back to Sweden we worked in the gardens for a few hours
tidying things up and generally making preparations for spring.
In the evening we had Jodie and Lou
over for an evening meal and a few drinks which as very enjoyable.
On Sunday we jumped on a train and headed
off to the Dome to visit the C2C (Country to Country) show where we met Chris
and Carole for lunch and we watched several acts on the pop-up
stages, including:
Winters Hill (a fun three piece band
with catch songs and strong rhythms)
Hometown Show (caught the end of their
gig where they played an entertaining mash-up of several songs)
Michele Stodart (and her husband, from
the Magic Numbers)
Jon Randall & Jessi Alexander (husband and wife act)
Flats & Sharps (who were so good I
bought their new EP)
As we watched the last few acts
checking out the audience for checked shirts, cowboy hats and tassels we drank
wine from sealed plastic glasses sold by Enjoy Life by the Glass.
