Gotta love....

having a little sister, especially one that is in full time employment and enjoying spending her money which means fun times out! So this time she had a spare ticket for a glass of champers and a sharing platter at Tower 42 Vertigo bar, don't mind if I do, even if I wasn't the first choice of guest but who's quibbling when it's free! 

First stop for a little bit of culture was to see the poppy installation, Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, at the Tower of London which I have been meaning to go and see for ages. So off we set on a day in half term, just when the sun was setting over the city which was beautiful to find it absolutely crowded. We squeezed through to take a few pictures.....

The vast scale leave a big impact and they really do seem to ooze out of the Tower like blood. It was just a shame it was so busy as it would have been nice to experience it with some peace and calmness. 

We then walked towards Vertigo Bar taking in the sights of the city including Lloyds and the gherkin, which has a little cute Lego model outside at the moment. I love walking around the city especially the East End, I love its narrow streets that are filled with beautiful and unusual buildings and its higgledy piggledy feel. 

Here's hoping she's feeling generous again sometime soon!
