Getting out and about

One of my Favorite Authors.

Columbus Day I got out to some new places I wanted to check out. I had heard that there were some very nice craft stores in Maidenhead and Reading. Off I went to find out for myself. The store in Maidenhead was nice but didn't have much that I wanted. The one in Reading was much better and I managed to stock up on some things I've been needing. So, while I was in Reading I thought I would visit the mall and see if they had some books and stuff I've been looking for.
As I entered the bookstore I noticed that one of my favorite authors would be signing books there that day, so of course I bought a copy of his latest and stood in line. Turns out it was about an hour-and-a-half. I may have put my back out, but I got the autograph!!

More pictures of Maidenhead and Reading later.

Days Out in London

Had a wonderful couple of days in London on Oct 3-4. Saturday I finally got to see some theatre. Wonderful show, see above. I had forgotten how much fun the theatre could be.

Then on sunday we went to Harrods. If you've heard anything at all about Harrods, it's got to be true. The building is nearly a block square and five stories tall with two basements. They have everything from clothes and toys to food and drink and plenty of souveniers. Will try to blog more with pictures.

It's getting cooler here, barely makes it up to 60 these days. Will have to dig into my memories of Ohio to remember how to handle the cold.
