It was me and Tom's date day today, we went to the 'Winter gardens and museum' in Sunderland. It's free entry and there was lots more museum exhibits than I'd been expecting. There was also some art exhibitions, one was off some embroidered scenes by Grayson Perry and they were so good! When you stood back it really looked like they'd been painted. 

My favourite part was where they had items from the 'recent' past (about 30's-90's) from people's homes. There was stuff like the first mobile phones and it showed you how what people eat for their tea has changed through time! 

 There was a teeny play house, so obviously we went inside.

"Would you like some tea?"

This is me, very busy, hanging my washing up to dry.

There was a few live animals too. In the winter gardens section there were Koi Carp, and in the 'living world' exhibit there were turtles, a tarantula, and some fish. I may have spent a bit too long watching the turtles, but they were just too cute! 

Thanks for reading :) x
