Exploring History.

I am a self confessed history geek, so the Imperial War Museum is my idea of heaven. Actual fact that if someone took me on a date there I would be very happy!!
Today I went with a friend to explore history.

We started at the top at the Ashcroft Gallery which is amazing as it's so interactive!

We went down to the next floor to the holocaust exhibition which is a beautiful and haunting experience.

The Imperial War museum has the coolest shop with retro gifts, perfect for your grandparents!!!

There is also a relatively new part called "War story" which is an inspiring look into the lives of our servicemen an women fighting at the moment. Alongside this there are beautiful portraits on the top floor taken by IWM photographers.

The newest exhibition "Family in war time" was closed to the public today, so we are already planning our trip back to the IWM to see this and "shaped by war" photographs.

There is so much more to see, that we haven't explored yet.

You don't have to be a history geek to enjoy this museum though, it truly is a great place to go with family and friends of all ages.

Lesson learnt.

We learned a little lesson the other day, and that lesson was:

Never go backwards in life, unless your in a pedalo, then you should always go backwards because it's easier.

We did love the pedalo though. Even if we did have to be saved like damsels in distress!

Putting the book to use....

So, I blogged about the book "He's just not that into you" and said that I was learning painfully just where I'd been going wrong.
I decided it was best to put what I had learned into practice straight away, and didn't waste anytime this Saturday in trying out Greg's tips.
Whilst out in my home town with old school friends, this boy (who was rather handsome) was chatting to me. He ended the converstaion with "Well I'm just sat over there with my friends, just letting you know because I probably wont see you again tonight." As he left my best friend urged me to go over and sit at his table and normally I would of done just that. This time however I heard Greg's voice tell me that if he was interested he would let me know.
With that in mind I carried on dancing and enjoying myself and sure enough an hour later he came back up to me to talk and we ended up swapping numbers! This NEVER happens to me normally, so it must be Greg's amazing advice!!!
GIRLS GO BUY THAT BOOK - IT'S AMAZING!!!
