I don't know what to say

Today was a blue sky day all day so we began with a trip to Tate. The exhibition is still fantastic and since it is Tate members Christmas shopping weekend it seemed rude not to par take in 20% off purchases. We may  have bought a wee bit of stuff so much that the cashier was a bit stunned. Maree said we came from New Zealand for the exhibition and it was the reason for the holiday. The poor chap looked shocked and said I don't know what to say...  Surely we are not that strange.... A quick trip home to drop off the purchases and it off to Bexleyheath for Red House - a perfect day combination Burne Jones and Red House. Unfortunately Red House is under going some outside maintenance so had a lot of scaffolding which greatly reduced the photographic opportunities. It was our first time seeing the house decorated for Christmas and it was not quite as good as Speke. We saw some new uncovered original features and had some others pointed out so an excellent day. The gift shop had some new treasures so again would be rude to leave them there. Ventured to Earls Court for KFC for tea as the local one is closed - how rude. Tomorrow is an early start for a day in Cambridge.
