Michelangelo

Rashadee took Lucy and Milly to the National Portrait Gallery. These places sometimes have a sniffy air and appear elitist, but actually they have great activities for kids. On the day Lucy and Milly went they had a sculpture workshop specifically for little dudes. This is a photo of the sculpture Lucy created. Whilst it isn't the most accurate likeness of Lucy I have ever seen I think it is astonishing that they showed her how to create something so good (and I have seen the photos Rashadee took on her phone - this was all Lucy's own work). It's just a shame that the left hand eyeball keeps falling out. Must remember to glue it in again.

The Planets

Just near our road is an interesting sculpture which has been left out in the elements to weather naturally giving it a charming rustic appearance.

Apparently it is meant to represent The Planets (perhaps because Gustav Holst used to live in Barnes). The flattened one that Sprock is pointing out is meant to represent the earth as it is the only one that describes live via vegetation.

Mummy tries to explain this to Lucy but she appears underwhelmed.

However, give her a bit of grass to chew on ...
