This is my last post about England, I promise (until I go back! I can’t help myself, I loved it there).
The day before I left we headed back into London to go to the opening day of Wallace & Gromit’s World of Cracking Ideas Exhibition. Wow! Opening day of a Wallace and Gromit exhibit! I had a blast, I’m so happy that I was able to go! I documented the visit and uploaded a bunch of pictures to WallaceAndGromit.net:

And any trip over the pond would be incomplete without me snagging some Wallace and Gromit stuff, it’s just so hard to get here in the States! So I did. On the right of this photo are a Hutch backpack and a Shaun the Sheep CD holder (which now lives in my car), both of which were gifts. At the exhibit I picked up the t-shirt, pen and pink “thinking putty” and on my way out of the country I snagged the Gromit head magnet at a duty free shop. It’s so very novel to be able to buy Wallace and Gromit stuff in stores! Oh and in this picture there is also some yummy chocolate I brought home too, mmm Cadbury Crunchies.

That looks great…must of been kind of weird walking around a place that you only see on TV.
I love the bits and bobs you managed to pick up, as well as the Thorntons Chocolates and the Cadbury’s Flakes… yum!
Just two things – What is the pink “thinking puttyâ€? and what is that thing you are putting your hand on?

What is thinking putty? It’s not quite as dense as silly putty, sorta more fluffy, but it’s just a sort of clay stuff that you can shape and bounce :)
The thing I’m putting my hand on is just a silly display outside the exhibit that says wallace and gromity things about you “based on your hand scan” (it’s most likely pretty random though!). Cute anyway.
