    Ames-yes, definitely BYOB-sorry, this low LOW budget. He is about 6'5 so will need a fair few cans-DH is convinced he won't come as he lives in Gloucester and travels up here for his shifts...

    I have to say I love kids in museums, they've got so much enthusiasm, when I was in Venice in the Doge's Palace there was a kid lying on the floor so he could see the pictures on the ceiling better. Made me wish I wasn't a grown up and could do that too instead of having to lean backwards to look! Then there was the kid who was really interested in the cross bows, oblivious to the chastity belt next to them.

    Well, I don't let me kids tear around anywhere.

    Wait-I lie-I let them tear around parks...

    Bunny, it's no problem at all that it's byo, I've got plenty to bring that's left from xmas, I'm looking forward to having some space in the kitchen! Although if we're bringing food too it might be an idea to co-ordinate what we're bringing so we don't end up with loads of dips and no crisps or whatever!
