Diamonds are a girls best friend

Eventually we made it safe and sound. No great traumas just a slow and boring nine hour drive, I told you that the idea of an overnight journey was becoming less attractive by the moment and by 3 am, after a day at work and only an hours sleep I was convinced.

The numerous coffee breaks en-route coupled with an accident causing a long tail back meant that despite leaving home at 2am we didn't arrive until 10.30 Monday morning.

Of course things have improved since then, much chatter, good food and celebrations of PG's birthday later, a good nights sleep and it's off into town this morning to an exhibition at the Natural History Museum destined to make me spit with envy and keep me riveted for hours. My passion, the one thing that could tempt me to wish I was a millionaire, an exhibition that could have been staged 'just for me'.....an exhibition of diamonds!! Big, beautiful, sparkling, diamonds. Yup, diamonds really are this girls best friend, or at least would be given the opportunity!

More later, train to catch :o)
