Fantastic suggestions, many thanks to all for advice, ideas & offers!!!

Browsing today I found that the Science Museum is doing a 'be a spy' thing & the Natural History Museum is doing an Antarctica Experience too, both of which sound like fun. The Leith Hill idea is Fab (ta pirandello) as is Wilminton (of course Mary *grin*) with Beachy Head etc!! Got some brochures today (telepathy Noreen?) and have had some other thoughts on stuff like Wild Tupperware Hunting & a squint at Stonehenge. Am definitely drawing the line at Whelks!!!!

JennyO, there a new Planetarium just started up in Greenwich which looks to be less 'waxy' than the Tussauds experience & is definitely worth a look, thanks for the idea.

Thanks too Bert for your 'must-sees', you've got some super ones in that list, and yes, it is never-ending - hopefully!

Richard's had a chat with her just now & it sounds like she's probably seen all she wants to in London, but I reckon the Jack the Ripper walk is a good one (thanks Blowz)!! She's suggested Windsor Castle & she likes the idea of Brighton (cheers Dave) so there may be a squirty ice-cream opportunity for me *grin* I wonder how much we can pack in to our short time together?

And just before we take her back to her Uncle's on Sunday in Orpington we're going to take her to Essex Girls BBQ so she can see & hear some of the friends we've met on the Folk Scene. Should round off the experience nicely!

Or she might just want to hang around in the cottage watching the fox cubs & doing cross-stitch. Hope it doesn't rain.....
