Top shots! We went too - enjoyed it alot. I found the boy sculpture a bit disconcerting - but for entirely different reasons. Standing next to something as lifelike, but totally out of scale, seemed a little freaky; its eyes seemed to be at the same level as mine... Looks like your timing was good - we had a fair few people to contend with (the last Saturday). Still, as Wallace would say, a "grand day out". I'll be back next time, but a little earlier in the day.
