Afternoon Tea at Ting

We had a lovely weekend playing host to a close family friend.  I picked C up from the airport on Friday night on the way back home from Nottingham. 

I cannot express enough how miserable work is at the moment - the client is lovely but the work just doesn't interest me so it's a constant battle to be focused and pretend that it's all great.  

Anyways, Friday evening was a nice dinner at the Rose and Crown and we then a reasonable early to bed night.  Saturday morning brought some crappy weather but we went on regardless.   We had a lovely day out starting with afternoon Tea at Ting in Shrangri-la in the Shard before having a walk around London and a wander into the Tate Modern.  Three of us had a bit of a consensus that we don't like Modern Art.  

We headed up the shard afterwards and even with the grim weather the views are still great.  I do love that building.

In the evening we met up with another friend of mine and we had a nice dinner.  

The train home was a little delayed and just as we got off another guy on the train started shouting some abuse at my husband.  We aren't sure what his point was but I think he half listened in on our conversation and then got the complete wrong end of the stick.  It was a bit stressful but then at least it happened as we got to our stop.
