No, boy heaven is not a swinging London nightspot, it's this toystore at Camden Lock markets. Here's Patrick, 4, wondering how many stars he'll need to earn before he gets a treat. You earn stars by eating dinner, getting dressed and having teeth brushed by your dad.Patrick's interests include Star Wars, lego, and Star Wars lego. If you don't make up the Imperial Shuttle exactly right he will put you right.
Meanwhile, I have been exploring charity shops, where you can buy a perfectly good t-shirt for 99p and help a needy pet at the same time. Why buy new?
Other discoveries:
- biking is quicker and less smelly than the Tube.
- what a 'window licker' is
- You can make a belt from used bike tyres (www.velo-re.com)
- these guys are the best bike instructors: www.cycletraining.co.uk. Now I am a provisionally qualified instructorI will be keen to share my new skills with anyone looking to upskill.
Am off to France tomorrow with the famously reliable budget airline RyanAir. Will seek some big Alps to test my new dream bike and new bike skills. Zut alors!
Big thanks to Alan and family for sharing the posh mansion in West Hampstead. I plan to recreate the Death Star in 1:1 scale from lego before I leave.
