Urban Life

We went to see an art exhibition with our friends.  It was all about bicycles!  On the way we stopped off in a park near by.  Then once it got dark the guys running the show, showed us how to do Graffitti (but mum told us we could not do it at home!)   ... then because the photo exhibition was about bicycles some other guys jumped around the place on bikes that had just one wheel. (mono cycles)  It was really cool! 


Powis Square.  A small park on the way to the gallery
Adults looking at the bike photos
There were pictures of kids too! 
This was our friend Geo .. the bike guy jumped over him .. Just!  (We're sitting on the wall to the left)
...Then we jumped off the wall .. and joined in with the guys doing Graffiti! 
This guy jumped up on the pillar, then onto the phone box and then off .. and never even fell. 

The grafitti wasn't finished by the time we had to go home to bed.. so the next day we went by and had a look at it finished!

Statues

We live just  near the West End of London. 
Our favourite statue was to be leaving Marble Arch (a big corner in London) .. so mum took us on the bus to see it up close before it's gone.   It's right beside another statue that we like of a giant horse (but when you first see it, it's hard to know what it is)....

Yummm!
We all got to sit up at the Front and watch the world go by
