We stood on the line

Today dawned another grey day and another day where we risked an overground train. The plan was to head to Greenwich and then visit Hobby craft but we decided to head out earlier and hit Hobby craft first. The train made it to the station after running 6 minutes late which we needed so win there. Hobby Craft was okay but Spotlight is probably better. We then decided to be brave and get a bus to the Cutty Sark this is never a good idea when you have no idea where you are going so we had to ask a lady on the bus where to get off thankfully she was very helpful and we got off at the right place. The Cutty Sark is suspended on ground and you can walk around the hull and go inside and see all areas of the ship. It is well set out and quite interesting and we both decided we were not designed for boats. We then had a wander over to the Old Naval College and realising it was getting to 12.30 we decided to head to the Royal Observatory so we could see the red ball drop at 1. We have a video of this if you are unlucky we will make you watch it not sure it was the most exciting 3 seconds ever but have seen it. Heading into the Observatory we like everyone else stood with one foot either side of the meridian line and took a pic of our feet. Through the museum we learnt more than we ever wanted to know about clocks and navigation. It was then down the hill to the Queens House. This has been turned into a gallery space comprising the original layout of rooms and hung with sea themed paintings  - and way too many men with grey wigs and very ruddy complexions. The highlights were an Evelyn de Morgan painting and the Armada portrait of Elizabeth 1. The plan was then to head to the fan museum but it now closes on Monday's so walked under the Thames instead. We wandered up to Canary Wharf and got the tube back home. Tomorrow sees a quieter day around Central London
