      Tom knew we'd have a busy day of adventuring ahead of us, so he insisted we fuel up with a Wetherspoon's breakfast at the Lord Moon of the Mall.

      Our adventure started at Trafalgar Square where Tom told me to check my phone. There was a text from the Cheshire Cat telling us we were late and to make our way into the Nation Portrait Gallery and ask for time.

      It was scary wandering up to the staff to ask the first question but we were handed a pocket watch and envelope of instructions.
