Afterwards we went to Monument which is a  memorial to the Great Fire of London and has 311 spiral steps which was really difficult to climb up. There were loads of great views from the viewing platform.

    Wow I can’t believe how much you managed to do when you were in London! Were you tired afterwards? It looks like so much fun! I love the dream jars.

    It’s very colourful in the M&M shop isn’t it? We went there once and a giant M&M started dancing with us! I’ll have to show you the video when I next see you.

    Great blogging as always Dillon! Xxx

    Wow Dillon, you had such a busy weekend. You have described it all so well that I almost feel like I was there. The photographs are lovely, I like the one of you with the Lego Queen, the food looks very interesting too.

    The dream jars look interesting, I would like to go and see those. I love London too but haven’t been since 2012 when the Olympics were on, your blog has made me want to go again.

    See you soon,
