# 076 Take Master O’D to Tate Modern (COMPLETE)

October 21, 2009

A day at Tate modernWhat an adventure! Took Master O’D to see his first live Andy Warhol which he loved and went to see the Pop Life Exhibition The exhibition itself is a superb mix, of which Warhol is just a part, but also takes in Hirst, Emin, Haring and others. The building is awe-inspiring and the content just jaw-dropping. We spent two hours there and it is nowhere near enough to really see everything. Must go again.
Later, we went to see the Museum of Animation at County Hall – a hard to find attraction but most definately worth the effort. We were greeted like old friends by the curator and animator in residence and to see Master O’D with such wonder in his eyes was just amazing. It put me in mind of the first time I took him to see Father Christmas (which incidentally doesn’t always feel like that long ago!)

We moved on to Forbidden Planet whilst he took an hour to decide what gift to choose. Nice to know he’s not growing up too fast! A sprint to Covent Garden and a bag of chips on the way home rounded off the perfect mum/son day. I do seem to £100 down on the deal but so much richer in a soppy emotional way. Gotta love that boy.
