Visiting the Cutty Sark

It was an INSET day at my son's school so, rather than let him fritter it away on various screens as he would dearly love to do, we went on a trip to London together.

There was bribery involved of course: a promised lunch at MacDonalds and time spent on Westminster Bridge watching the buses go past so we could collect bus numbers (20 different ones apparently, all remembered in the order he saw them... the power of Autism on memory!!!).

The Cutty Sark gift shop was  great success as it offered lots of GOLDEN treasures (brass or something like) and he would quite happily have left it at that without visiting the boat (and tried to!) but no, we had come to see the boat (ship?) and we WOULD see it!

Here are some of the beautifully artistic lines and arcs you can see in the frames around the boat...

The roof holds the boat in place and curves beautifully around the shop and visitor's centre.

The lines flow and give glimpses of the ship above through the gaps.

It was a lovely place to visit and I'll post more pictures of other parts soon!
