Last week was half term here and so things were a little different with visits from my oldest son and his family (five of them all week) the other two married sons (3 in each family, half a week each). My youngest son lives with us and the other couldn't make it. We also got to see Eleri's two sisters and husbands plus one nephew and her father and his wife, briefly. Hectic week then. Colds and hay fever didn't help.
On treat was going with Rhodri my oldest to see 2 Willow Road in Hampstead (he is a fully paid up NT member). A volunteer guide showed us around the modernist house, built in the thirties by Goldfinger and very interesting it was. Great to have it all explained. It made you appreciate it more. It felt a little like a school but one could imagine living there quite happily. World's smallest kitchen (they're all designed by men).
We also got a good look at the British Museum's Egypt section and had a look at Cleopatra's Needle more by accident than design.
Great to see the kids enjoying themselves in the water outside the Royal Festival Hall.
