museum

Last week we went away for a few days and the weather was very kind!

Ashley and I went for a coffee this morning, to the Courtyard Cafe, but on the spare of the moment decided to pop into the Museum of St Albans, next door, to see 'Kubrick: A Film Makers Odyssey'. The exhibition celebrates the life and work of Stanley Kubrick, a resident of St Albans before his death in 1999. In the display are props from Stanley Kubrick’s films, screenplays, photographs and models made by University of Hertfordshire students (we particularly liked the models), and his awards, get up close to his Oscar and BAFTA.

Day of the Dead at the British Museum looks interesting. For more information and a full programme of events visit www.britishmuseum.org 

Join the fiesta!

Celebrate this annual Mexican festival with free family performances, dance, workshops and carnival parades.


The bank holiday weekend weather was lovely, we spent most of the time in the garden tidying up and potting plants on. On Monday I went to Susie's to show her how to crochet, another crochet convert!
