Friday 11th September 2026 I went to the Museum of Brands one for my favourite places with my mum, we travelled there on the Elizabeth line from Ilford to Paddington where I walked through to see the Paddington Bear statues and the shop, then went on the Hammersmith and City line to Ladbroke Grove. I really enjoyed looking around the museum and they had a new common threads & a branding Britain exhibitions. My favourite part was the brands that featured characters and I give my day 10 out of 10 and this was my twelveth visit.
I have been doing my blog for 11 years this month and I’m very proud of myself for everything I have achieved, I’ve enjoyed my blogs for with all the different people I have done it with. Below are some pictures from my day and with my food from my birthday brunch 2 weeks ago also if you like reading my blog please comment.
