What better place to start.. the history of the world I live in just as I set out to make my own history.
I love museums, they always seem so peaceful, so full of mystery.
The Natural History Museum was fantastic - I'd travelled up to London on the Megabus that morning and walked from Victoria through Kensington and various other places in search of the museum that seemed so much closer on the map!!
It's a beautiful building, stunning architecture, great atmosphere, sense of endless majesty.
I couldn't begin to say what my favourite part was.. the stone monkeys climbing the walls up to amazing ceilings, the HUGE dinosaur fossils (which I always expect to come alive), the coelacanth (one of my childhood fascinations), the dodo (sadly without Alice), the cursed amethyst, Darwin himself (in marble of course) or 'Tree' the inspirational ceiling artwork bu Tania Kovats, or all these things put together to create a mindblowing day to mark the first in my list!
