Hiho, hiho, it's off to work I go...

Hiho, hiho, it's off to work I go...I start working at Starbucks in Farringdon, London this week.

Vinopolis

Christine and Mel started working at Vinopolis last week. It's a self-guided wine tour in central London that allows visitors to sample wines from all around the world.

Museums


We've had some rainy days so I decided to head to some of London's FREE museums, such as the Tate Modern and the British Museum.

Happy Guy Fawkes Day

Happy Guy Fawkes Day! The 5th of November celebrates the failed assassination attempt by Guido Fawkes against King James I of England. The plot intended to kill the king and blow up the Houses of Parliament on November 5, 1605. The 5th of November in the UK is called "Bonfire Night" where they set off fireworks to remember this spoiled plot.
