Today, we decided to use the bathtub in the bathroom attached to Ainsleys room instead of the shower (it is the one that leaked 2x and although fixed, I didn’t want to take any chances). So it is a white tub and as I start to fill it up, we notice that there is a light greenish hue. The girls thought that it was cool. Because the fixtures are all gold, it somehow gave the water the slight coloring. I am just glad that now we don’t have to go to the gym to take showers for them.
After our baths, we walked up to Wendy’s Workshop – a clay studio just like Clay Café or Color-Me-Mine. The girls painted their chosen pottery items for about 2 hours. Wendy, the owner of the workshop hails from the US but has lived in the UK for 20 years. We were the only people in there for a while so we got to chat. And they had some magazines, which I got to look at while the girls painted away. We put all of our magazine subscriptions on hold and I forgot how much I actually enjoy down time of reading magazines. Ainsley decided to decorate a bowl that we could use as a sugar bowl back at the house. Emily made something to give to daddy for his birthday next month. After that we went home, met up with Scott and went to the New Inn, the pub a few doors down from the house, for dinner.
At the New Inn, we were surprised at the number of people who had their dogs accompany them in the restaurant. We started chatting with some people next to us with a dog, which the girls then got to pet. We have found so many people are so friendly around here. I think that Richmond, while considered a part of London, is not a hot spot for Americans on “holiday” so they are curious about us.
