Long weekend

For all of you who are looking forward to the coming 'Long weekend' here are a few suggestions:

1. Visit your local Planetarium

2. Visit a friend that lives miles away. It's a good excuse to travel.

3. Go to a show in London. You can see: La Clique, Endgame, The 39 Steps, Speaking in Tongues and Aladdin.

4. Eat out at Princess of Shoreditch (5 star rating by customers/gastropubs) 76-78 St. Paul's Street, London EC2A or Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester (haute cuisine/restaurant) The Dorchester, 53 Park Lane, London, W1K

5. See a film: 2012, The Twilight Sage: New Moon, A Serious Man, Harry Brown, A Christmas Carol (a great new version of an old story)

6. Visit an exhibition. GSK CONTEMPORARY (Art) Until Jan 31 2010, The Royal Academy Burlington Gardens, London. 'Earth: Art of the Changing World'.

7. Ice-skating at Wembly Stadium. See Winter Wonderland; it's a great show with great professional. Don't forget to take you favourite wooly hat and gloves, it's going to be freezing!

8. Use Your Imagination! The Victoria and Albert Museum are holding an exhibition of new toys to stimulate imaginative play. They are designed by students at Middlesex University and tested by a class of six year olds at Christchurch Primary School.

9. For all you fashion lovers, take a look at the SHOWStudio's: Fashion Revolution at Somerset House, The Strand, London, WD2R 1LA. Tramps, Past, Present & Couture(Christian Dior, Couture Fall/Winter 2001/2). Absolutely Fasinating!

10. For Kids: This season there are plenty of Kid's show and pantomimes; Battersea Park Children's Zoo, The Cartoon Museum, 35 Little Russel St, London, WC1A 2HH; Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens, London; Gunnersbury Triangle Nature Park West London ( www.wildlondon.org.uk) and for the teenagers maybe the boys would like to go to The London Dungeon for a ghoulish afternoon.

I have just mention a few things but I'll bet you know so much more. Have a great weekend.
