There was a spare seat on the D & T (Design and Technology) trip to London to visit the Design Museum and the Borough Markets and the teacher in charge asked if I would like to accompany them. As it was on a day when Darrell was on rush photocopying duty I was able to say yes! Woooo hoooooo
Our coach was bijou with seating for 33 and very comfortable but the journey to London seemed endless, despite my great excitement, and I was glad that I had bought ample sustenance to boost my flagging energy levels…..
…… which included a comprehensive fruit salad which provide me with most of my 5 a day needs and some Lucozade Lite Cherry from the nice people at Lucozade Towers, to keep me hydrated and refreshed.
We finally arrived at the Design Museum over an hour late ..
…. but it was well worth it, I collected lots of leaflets, just in case I had to do a
project about my day when I got back to school and some free badges for Darrell and Nigel.
I filled out the visitor questionnaire ….
…… and soaked up as much of the creative atmosphere as I could.
The view on the top floor was stunning, I looked at the “Gherkin” and thought of
The Apprentice for some strange reason……
…… and our friend Hugh who now lives in Notting Hill and lives the showbiz life …. I wasn’t sure where Notting Hill was in relation to the Museum, but I guessed it was on the other side of the Thames and sent Hugh a huge Wolverhampton wave in what I hoped was the right direction.
It would have been nice to have been able to pop in for a cup of showbiz tea and gossip, but this really was a whistle stop trip!
Before we left the museum, I couldn’t help but gaze up at the luxury apartments next door and wondered if anyone famous lived there. I also thought how romantic it would be to have a posh restaurant underneath where you lived. I wondered if they would send a tray up if ever you didn’t fancy cooking tea!

Shame you couldn't have met Hugh and Marc and exchanged huge Wolverhampton and showbiz waves.
ReplyDeleteThe museum looks like a great place to visit.
A tray from a posh restaurant is VERY showbiz!! x
ReplyDeleteLucky you; a day in London town and an interesting and fun museum. Those glass balconies present a glamorous facade but I would feel as though I was on display in a department store window!..Best Wishes....Dianne
