A (Very) Brief Guide of Free Things to Do in London:
1. Walk around Camden; sit on a motorcycle chair; consider getting multiple face piercings; visit the markets; chat with the tea stall man about tea; stare at other tourists; feel self-consciously un-tatttooed
2. Go to the Tyburn Convent; stay for mass; chat with the nuns; take a tour of the crypt; make friends with Mother Esther; be impressed with Emma's knowledge of the martyrs; become disillusioned upon learning that Emma actually doesn't know anything about the martyrs
3. See The Royal Shakespeare Company performance of Dunsinane (not lying, it was free); eavesdrop on conversations about the war in Afghanistan during intermission; keep accidentally saying "Macbeth" inside the theatre despite Emma's warning nudges; discuss how Lady Macbeth's hair person did a super amazing job; consider dying hair red; realize that Emma is a natural red head and so can never compare; abandon red hair scheme in lieu of moving to Scotland

Yay moving to scotland! I totally support that idea. And I cannot imagine you with a face piercing, never mind multiple piercings.
ReplyDeleteditto to the scotland bit. and i suppose the piercing bit as well.
ReplyDeleteLady M's hair is honestly what has inspired me to grow mine out. All I need to do is buy her flowing green dress and pack a pseudo-rock band with me to underscore my move to Scotland.
ReplyDeletePS Things that are not free in London:
1) Wine rudely served in plastic cups
2) A poster of all of the martyrs (only 1 pound)
