Catching up

[bluespirit]

It's been a busy week or so. We've had some sad RL news, which I won't dwell on, but fortunately a few nice things, too.
We went down to London for a couple of days last week.  We visited the Sherlock exhibition at the Museum of London, saw Mamma Mia! at the Novello & the Poppy installation at the Tower of London.  It was a brilliant visit - we had such an amazing time.

Hmmm, this seems familiar...



THE coat!



Ceramic poppies in the moat of the Tower - one poppy for every British & Commonwealth soldier who died during the First World War. There'll be over 888,000 when they're all planted.  It was incredibly moving.




And we went to Coalbrookdale at the weekend & did a lovely walk up in the fields & hills there.  Bud loved it - especially mooching in the brooks & streams. :)







There's no new Spn this week but the trailer for next week looks awesome!

And how cute were the boys in their Halloween costumes? LOL



I love that Misha is doing 'Dean's' bow legs! And Jensen is making that Sam face!
Love it! \o/

I hope that everyone is happy & well!
*hugs*

I'm sorry about your sad news. *HUGS*

Those poppies are simply amazing.

Jensen, Jared & Misha were too funny! Jensen looks way too much like Sam there... It's freaky.

Thank you.
How are you feeling now? Better, I hope.
*hugs*

I actually did a double take at Jensen as Sam! LOL

Glad to know you are doing well despite sad RL news. Love the coat. I woke up this morning to the news that BC announced his engagement in the Times - very classy and old fashioned!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I know - so old school. I like it. *g*

Hope you're doing okay, L?

I'm really hoping to get to the Sherlock Holmes exhibition at some stage; thanks for the picture!

The poppies are amazing aren't they? A magnificent tribute.

Buddy in his element!!

I can really rec the exhibition. Be warned though - it isn't just about Sherlock (BBC), of course. (Which I'm sure you know!) I'm afraid there were a few teenage fangirls who seemed a little at sea that there weren't more BC related things. *g*

[rifleman-s.livejournal.com]

Amazing how they don't "do their research"!!

But no, I just love all things Conan Doyle related, and I'm sure it will be great to see Sherlock-through-the-ages as well as maybe doing some deductions!

Depending when I go, I think there are also some walks and outside visits available, looking at sites from the books, so that might be an option, too.

Have a good weekend.

Sorry you've had some sad news. *Hugs*

Was the Sherlock exhibition good? My grand-daughter would kill to see it and if it's worth it I might treat her to a day-trip in the new year. Think it's on into 2015...

Thanks, C.

That's brilliant. Thanks for your input, P. I shall think on it. :-)

The pics of the flowers looks beautiful and Bud looks like he's having a great time...aww buddy, so cute. The guys...bahahahaha.

Sherlock's coat looks cool.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Bud adores going on big walks - especially if there's water involved! *g*

Bud is a Water Dog!

Sorry to hear that there was sad news.

It has been fascinating seeing those poppies spread as friends over the months have posted pictures.

I am the last person in the world not to have seen even the film of Mamma Mia yet, but I hope the show was good!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
*hugs*

The poppies are amazing, aren't they?
I saw them back in July when I took my Mom down for the day (& we visited Clarence House) & it was impressive then, but it's even more so now.

I adore the film of Mamma Mia! but had never seen the stage show - it was superb. What a fun evening! :)

soooooooooooooooooooooo jealous. I REALLY want to see the Sherlock exhibition at the Museum of London :( :( :( And it's only got like a 6 month exhibition time - no where NEAR enough time for me to manage to plan to get there - since jan-apr is a no-time-off time at work. Not that I have any money to travel anyway. but my god, I really want to see it. So much so that I ordered the exhibition book online from Amazon.uk.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Oh, Mr B bought that book - it's very good.
Such a shame that you can't come over - we could have met up!
*hugs*
