OK so
when we woke up this morning the weather was good enough for us to go with plan
A, but with the forecast predicting rain early in the afternoon, so we shelved
plan A for another day and were going to go with plan B.
I say were, because
when I googled the directions the website said, well not actually said, but
according to the website the place doesn’t reopen for another week.
Hmmm
so plan C.
Unfortunately
this morning I didn’t immediately have a plan C.
I
know, I know, it isn’t like me not to have a contingency plan, but there you are…
Fear not,
with a bit of help from Mr Google I soon had a plan.
There’s
a suburb near us called Cryodon. Not the most salubrious place to go to, but
hey it does have its own museum and that
was our destination The trains are out for ‘planned maintenance’ this weekend ,
but the buses were still running.
Golly
gosh it was hot in the big red bus, good thing I had my fan with me, yes, I do carry one, so do lots of us.
It didn’t
take us long to find the museum, which is in the same building as the library. Over
the main entrance was a series of carved murals. Interestingly the central
figure in each one was a woman.
The
building was pretty flash and I think the council here must be an affluent one.
We had a wander around the library and I spotted a sign that said they had an e
library. Our local one at Crystal palace has greatly reduced hours so an e
library might be a good alternative, so I joined.
The
Man and I took out time in the small museum, which concentrated on local history.
We
sat in a mock-up of an Anderson shelter and listened to various audios of the
time when they were in use.
By
the time we came out the sky had darkened and traders the food market we walked
through were busily packing up their wares in anticipation. Not before we
bought some lovely black cherries and other fruits.
I can
tell you there weren’t may cherries left by the time we got back to Crystal
palace. And we made it inside without getting caught in the rain too
