Call It What You Want...

Yesterday was a trip out and about with Amanda, to the Geffrye Museum and Sutton House, with a side trip to the Transport Museum's Gift Shop.

The Geffrye Museum has rooms set up to represent the living rooms of the middle class through the ages, starting in the 17th century and ending in 1990. Nice presentation. We listened to the audio guide and enjoyed all the cool stuff, then lunched in the cafe and saw the elaborate gardens.

The afternoon took us to Sutton House, one of the oldest houses in London. There was cool stuff in there, including a linenfold room, a room paneled in wood carved to resemble draped cloth. That was pretty neat.

We went into Covent Garden, which anyone who's been here knows is a crowded mess of people; it was indeed, but the trip to the Transport Museum Gift Shop yielded the needed City Bus and other goodies (including something for Tim!). Then we were off to the Pembury, D&A's favorite pub that has various games for people to play. Cooooool. We played a couple of VERY fun games and stayed until quite late.

Today I am off to a couple of super-tourist sites.

Cheers, everyone!
