Ideal Home Show

On Sunday we were up bright and (reasonably) early and after taking the dogs for a walk, headed into town to Earls Court for The Ideal Home Show. SJ nor I had been before, my parents had but it was quite a while ago. It was fairly quiet, which was good as it was easy enough to get around and see the exhibition then. This is probabaly because it runs for so long...its about 3 weeks in total which is a hell of a long time if you're on Stand Duty!

The show itself was quite good, they had some interesting things there. SJ managed to spend a bomd, she bought lights, wine, cleaning stuff, etc, etc. I didn't buy anything but I did come close to seriously looking at a set of Roland Electronic Drums. They were fantastic! If they'd been a bit cheaper I'd have had them...as it was £2.5K was just a bit too much for something you basically hit!

We headed back into St. Pancras as my parents hadn't seen the station before. It's still impressive and I think we'll be doing the Eurostar before long...

Sunday night, we ate at The Red Lion, the parents favourite before we all (minus SJ) headed back up to Rugeley on Monday.
