Last night, I was watching the Darkest Hour DVD. It was interesting to watch what was going on with Winston Churchill’s activity day and night at War Rooms.
Darkest Hour DVD
My favourite part of this film when Winston Churchill used Victory as a wrong sign while the press photographer took a photo of him. Thanks to Miss Layton who corrected him in the next day. “UP YOUR BUM” he was roared with laughing.
Gary Oldman played Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour. He used a wrong sign of Victory which made me a laugh.
Lily James played Miss Elizabeth Layton who worked as a secretary for Winston Churchill. She was the one who corrected him to use the right Victory sign.

I love this bit part of the film…”UP YOUR BUM” (another word for UP YOURS).

Finally, Winston Churchill used the correct Victory sign. (See actual photo of Winston Churchill before and after)
I’m so proud that I have seen his home in Westerham, Kent. Worth a visit and believe me you will like it. Also, I went to the Churchill Wars Room in London, It was amazing and worth a visit!
I will post about The Chartwell, National Trust with photos of my trip last year. If you are interested to visit his home in Westerham, Kent or Churchill War Rooms for information. (see the link below)
It was the last minute’s plan that I want to get out of the house and go up in London to walkabout. While I was on the train and I was thinking about where shall I go? Tower Bridge or London Bridge? Ahhh…Let’s go to the Museum of London!
Museum of London
I have been to the Museum of London a few times and I love it and still do! There were so many little or big things to see especially Roman’s and an interesting story about The Great Fire 1666. Of course, a portrait of Henry VIII by Hans Holbein, I was so happy to see it and took a few photos of Henry VIII on Snapchat, so funny!
A beautiful little garden outside at Museum of London
I believe the Museum of London is the best place to educate the children to learn about Timeline from Dinosaurs to the present day. (not suitable for little children).
So many things to see…Worth to visit and free admission.
After the Museum of London, I went for a little walk around at St. Paul’s Cathedral and Christchurch Greyfriars Garden. It was lovely to see a little garden in London, not far from St. Paul’s underground. Christchurch Greyfriars Garden is absolutely beautiful and I can see a few butterflies flying around and some wildflowers. I absolutely love an old ruin church. (A rarely to see a beautiful garden in London).
I love to watch any history films something like Elizabeth The Golden Age, Darkest Hour etc. Have you heard about Mary, Queen of Scots film will be coming out in December this year? I can’t wait to watch it as I need to learn more about Mary, Queen of Scots. Is it true Mary, Queen of Scots actually met Queen Elizabeth I? (I thought they haven’t met in a real life.) Darkest Hour, I haven’t yet watch it as I believe Darkest Hour is the best film than any old films and I was so happy that Gary Oldman (played as Winston Churchill) won a few awards for Best Actor (Academy Award, Golden Globe Award and BAFTA Award). I hope Mary, Queen of Scots will get a nomination for the best film, actor or make up and hair (Fingers Crossed!)
A long weekend break in Edinburgh, Scotland was interesting and enjoy visiting Edinburgh Castle, Arthur’s Seat, The Greyfriars Bobby, Royal Mile and go on.
Ben Matthews is BSL interpreter and he is not Tour Guided. He was showing us around at the short time.This is amazing…feeling wow…I was in Mary, Queen of Scots room where she was given a birth of her baby son James (future King James 1 of England and VI of Scotland)Me and my holiday buddy 🙂This is my favourite bit of story about Black Dinner
Mary, Queen of Scots. Don’t you think she looks like so much her cousin Elizabeth I

I love organizing a day trip with my closest friends at Leeds Castle or any other places like Museum or Palace or even Castle. I organizing once or twice a year to show my friends that History is not boring as you think it is but you can have fun while learning about History. To be honest, History is fun but interesting!
Sue Gilbert is BSL tour guided and this was her first deaf group and she is fantastic BSL tour guided. Her signing was perfect and explanation was clearing as we can understand her story about Leeds Castle. We all have a lovely day and went home very happy because we learn so much from a wonderful Sue.
