Happy Easter everyone. Just a quick question to think about, which would you pick - Lego and chocolate . . .
. . . or chocolate Lego?

Easter Wander
Saturday, April 15, 2017
Mum's down to visit for Easter so after a bit of breakfast we headed out in to town. We headed to National Trust Fenton House in Hampstead and joined a short queue by the entrance. It was only as we got to the front of the queue that it became apparent that we weren't getting in. They had been running a timed ticket system for the day and all of the tickets had been given out already so there were no more slots. I guess we'll have to try again another day!
Feeling a bit disappointed we ended up having a bit of a wander. We had a walk up towards Hamstead Heath past the Royal Free Hosptal and saw lots of people heading for the fun fair that was based on the edge of the heath. We caught the 46 bus to St Pancras International terminal and then walked along to Kings Cross to have a look at a large chocolate Thomas the tank engine that mum had read about in the paper. The 6ft chocolate train was made by master chocolatiers from Sussex to celebrate the bank holiday weekend. There's an article on Eastbourne Herald website about the work that went into it and the 100Kg of choclate used. Given the massive amount of chocolate and effort involved, there didn't seem to be any information about it and lots of people just walked past without noticing it. A few people seemed to know however and watched a couple of people seem to walk right up and lick it to check it was chocolate - we decided we didn't need the proof! The weather was bright and sunny and warm all afternoon. Have a look at the photos and let me know what you think!
