Surprise at the Palace

Last Saturday Stephen had a surprise planned for the family. We drove down to Wood Green which is outside of London to a palace. Alexandria Palace to be precise. The palace is very old and it and the grounds that surround it are now being used as a community park. There is a golf green, and a lake where you can fish or take out boats, and some nice paved walks. Inside one half of the palace is an ice rink and the other half is a big room that they use for balls and conventions. It was this second half of the palace that held a wonderful surprise within it. It just so happened that they were holding a scrapbooking convention where tons and tons of vendors were set up showing various techniques and selling all sorts of merchandise. The day was so much fun and I just tried to absorb all that was there as well as come back home with a few things. How lucky it was that the annual scrapbooking convention was going on that Saturday.
