Took in the closed night clubs section at the V&A, including the Hacienda. No embarrassing photos of dancing allowed, so here are the highlights from other galleries. Top tip: start on the top floor.

"Show me your strawberries!" A hot Thursday and of course we had a very, very long journey to to pick strawberries. Stacked in the freezer for breakfast shakes. Out&About continues to be a joy of a day out, and our knowledge of our amazing public transport in the UK widens.

Such a contrast to the hailstones yesterday, the Isabella Plantation lived up to our high expectations. Out&About excursions accessing mostly free activities in the wonderful city that we live in. Gain travel skills, confidence and friends, every Thursday, starting 10am in Brentford.

21 stops on the Central line because the Lizzy had stopped running. Fabulous weather. Great location. Compact and accessible. Stunning building. Doing what the V&A does best. Would recommend.

Arts&Crafts Wednesdays. We make use of whatever is around us. This week, recycled cardboard into picture frames and vases, flowers from the park, with some clear sticky plastic to hold. Simple idea, fulfilled by our artists.
