wading through the emotional equivalent of treacle!

i would consider myself to be the most optimistic of all optimists, but there's no getting around the bad days...you have to go right through the middle of them...started the beginning of the week on a wonderfully soppy post-romantic high from a trip out of the metropolis (will tell all at another time!) and slowly as i regained my normal day to day, the stresses and tribulations started to stack and my emotional ninja protection system was not in place, so instead of fighting off the fears like the happy warrior i usually am, you can currently find me in a heap of emotional treacle...no fear, though! i know this is a temporary set back and the one thing we can all be assured of is that life really does move on, so have a lovely evening fellow bloggers and i'll see you once i've turned the treacle into a more edible marshmallow type feeling!

The Great Tate Date for some Culture Vulture Romance!
Expense: £-£££

Best Time to Go: Mid-Morning to Mid-Afternoon.
Arrive at Tate Britain for phase one of your culture vulture romancing. Tate now provides themed pamphlets that will lead you directly to artwork to get you in the mood for multiple doey-eyed moments. This means you will avoid the usual art gallery fatigue that usually hits us all when overloaded with so much artistic ocular candy!
Onto Phase Two. Leave Tate Britain and head to the Tate To Tate Boat where starting from as little as £2.85 you can hop on a boat and head up to Tate Modern, taking in the sights of Houses of Parliament, London Eye, South Bank and Tower Bridge along the way. While on board you can have a little tipple and toast the stunning views while secretly shrieking inside at how well the date is going so far and how cool you appear to be!
Hop off at Tate Modern for Phase Three. If you are artistically pooped by this point you can head straight to one of the cafes or restaurants in the Tate and take in the view. Alternatively, take a stroll along the South Bank or across the bridge to St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Top tip…If you go in the summertime on a scorcher of a day, it’s worth stopping outside the Hayward Gallery and playing in the fountain! But only for the spontaneous, carefree types…if you’re jimmy chooed up and your face has been sponsored by MAC, you won’t want to end up looking like a drowned pantomime dame over late afternoon cocktails.
Go to www.tateorg.co.uk for the fully updated info.

this peaks my happy-o-meter everytime, for romance, with the family or with friends. total winner!
