    Thank you Greying, very kind of you to say so :)

    There are patterns but as long as they fit on a smoothie bottle pretty much anything goes...!

    Note to self - get off at London Bridge on Tuesday and walk to where you are going :).

    Note to self - just checked weather, take a brolly :rotfl:.

    Hijack alert: is it possible to do the poppies AND visit Pudding Lane (great fire and all that) in one day, with a 6 year old?

    We didn't stay long because a) Mr MWC was feeling poorly and b) it was mobbed but it was very impressive GG :)

    No idea about Pudding Lane AM - sorry

    We did a lap of the Tower in not very long at all - one day I'll go back and actually pay to go in but for £22/each I want to have plenty of time to get my money's worth!

    Goodness yes, they're only about 1/2 mile apart (approx- certainly not far and not worth getting on the tube in between). From memory, walk down Pudding Lane and the statue commemorating it is near the bottom, carry on down the hill to the river and turn left. The Tower is next to this big bridge thingy :D.
