Summer Holiday

The first week of my 2 week holiday will be over tomorrow and I have been mostly DIYing as the car decided to blow its head gasket last week!

So far I have started taking the car apart and I have tidied up the bushes at the front of the house, moved my compost bins further up the garden and leveled them out plus I have started creating a new flower bed at the bottom end of the railway.

The weather has been good and hot at times which made the DIY a bit warm!

We also visited the Science Museum in London for the first time in many years for me and the first time ever for the Wife. It has lost a lot of its exhibits in favour of interactive displays on compute monitors which I think is a shame. Supplement exhibits with such screens by all means but don't replace them.

The Launchpad area is fun even for a big kid like me and is well worth a visit.

My favorite exhibits are still the trains closely followed by the space vehicles including the Lunar Lander, great stuff. 

Tomorrow we are going for a ride on the newly re-opened Epping & Ongar railway for a trip behind a steam engine.
