She is adorable. Why is she attached to your hip ? I don`t understand.

That is just an expression that means she stays VERY close ALL the time! She stays SO close SO MUCH, that it seems like they are stuck together like 1 instead of 2. [emoji2]

Good evening all. So today we started at the Wallace Collection. Sir Richard Wallace was a collector from 300 years ago who turned his house into a museum. It’s just off Oxford Street - the main shopping street - and free. I don’t know why we haven’t been before; it’s brilliant.

I particularly liked this 17th century “ostrich”. I am not sure the silversmith had ever seen one before. Look at its ears!

Then we went for afternoon tea at the Connaught Hotel in Mayfair (a very posh area)
IMG_6296.jpg... this was a Christmas present to us :)

The Lumiere Festival of lights is on in London this weekend so we walked off a few calories admiring the lights :)

And we finished at the theatre... to watch a play called The Ferryman. It was very good, quite funny, but as the plot was about the Irish troubles in the 1970s it got rather intense and sad at the end.

And then the tube back to the train station was a little crowded... I couldn’t move!

We’re on the train home now. Our children travelled from Bristol and Southampton and met each other to see the lights then met us on the train, so we have them visiting for the night :)

Why does the ostrich carry a horseshoe in his beak ?

Then the ostrich must carry the horseshoe turned around. Like this:

You ask why ? When the horseshoe is that way the luck will fall into and stay, otherwise the luck falls out and you loose it. That`s the clue ( I have had horses, so I know this ).

Yes, we have the same belief here too
