Thursday again, they do seem to come round very quickly!  I suppose it is because it is home jobs day!  It has been very warm here today again so I have decided I will not do the ironing today and will fit it in when it is cooler.

I have had some new lenses in my glasses and collected them on Monday and am now trying to get used to them.  They are a new type of lens especially made for the work I do, computer work and then when I am reading.  I only use them for reading as my distance sight is fine, but it is  taking a little while to get used to the gradient in them.  

As it is #TBT I thought I would show you these pictures from 2012 when we went to The Harry Potter Studio Tour.  It was the first week that it opened and we thoroughly enjoyed the visit to see where it was filmed and all the props.  The Boys and DH were not very keen on the Butter Beer though!  

Here we are in “The Mirror of Erised” which shows the viewer their deepest desire which, for me, is DH and My Boys.  Eldest was 16 and Youngest was 12.

It was a great day and something we said we would do again, especially as they have added more things onto the tour now, like the train. 

You can walk down Diagon Alley and here I am outside Flourish and Blotts

The Boys getting their Wands at Ollivanders!

I am sure that, if we are all honest, we would all love to get our letter inviting us to attend Hogwarts by owl!

When I was at Primary School I devoured the “Malory Towers” books by Enid Blyton about Darrell Rivers who begins her First Year at Malory Towers Boarding School.  I would have loved to have gone to Boarding School and had all the adventurs that Darrell had with her friends.  My best friend at the time was called Judith and she and I read these books together (I still have my set).  Judith had a sister, Glynnis who was quite a bit older than she was, so Judith was like an only child like me.  Her room was the smallest in the house as her sister had the larger room and Judith’s bed fit between the two walls and above her bed she had bookshelves with her books on them and I loved her room.  Her bed was like a reading nook and you could look out of the window which was at the base of the bed.   I was lucky to have a bigger room but I really liked her room as it was cosy.  We were about eight at the time.  We then moved on to reading The Narnia stories, again I still have the set!

Anyway this is all leading up to tomorrow which is Book Club Day!  I have quite a few to discuss with you.  Happy Thursday. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
