popped up to London for Chinese New Year today.

when I say 'popped' I mean a journey more than twice as long as it should have been, including a bus replacement service and motorway contraflow combination.

but, despite the travel problems and rain, it was a lovely day and I got to see the mother and the brother.

some alternatives:
jump!
stage door
balloons

(oh, and check this one out biggerrr)
