Connecting the dots

London Eye 

Yesterday was a full circle kind of day. We started with the London Eye (truly a full circle) and finished with Billy Elliot. Maggie Thatcher was buried in the middle. Little did we realize the whole story of the miners until watching the show and realizing that last night was the perfect time to watch the musical. There had been threats earlier in the week of coal throwing demonstrations along the funeral procession by the miners. The musical was openly anti Maggie. Connections and 'teachable' moments for all. Oh, and we just happened to sit by someone who was from Moncton. Dots...

Guess where we are...................

Today we went to the Tate Modern in the morning. Wonderful open spaces and some of my favourite artists. My new favourite, Alexander Calder: in Venice at Peggy Guggenheim's house, in Paris outside the Pompidou and now in London. More dots....
This afternoon, while Norm went to rehearse for his concert, the boys and I went flea market shopping. New places in London, the east this time. Found something with the label still attached....a Value Village label!

We live in a small connected world inside this mind expanding trip.
