Another fun-filled day in London! (there were a lot of them, and all of them were fun-filled!)
We began today’s tour with a visit to a hidden oasis; St Dunstan in the East.
The church was first built here in Saxon times, restored by St Dunstan in 950 AD, and then rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire in 1697. (It’s around the corner from The Monument of the same fire.) The garden you see now was laid out following severe damage in the blitz. Would you like to know more?
This was going to be a more interesting post, I swear. But I have the plague. Or perhaps it’s just man flu.
So please, enjoy some pics of the V&A and Natural History Museum.
It is an experience to travel these days. Not like it was in the old days (she says pulling at all the bags and wrinkles under her eyes). There are few to no humans involved in the check-in process anymore.
You flash your passport at a computer, it spits you out a boarding ticket, and then you put your suitcase onto a conveyer belt, puling down a screen door in front of it and off go your worldy possessions, and you hope for the best. Would you like to know more?
I needed a gift for a friend, and as the weather in this part of the world has been getting cooler, I was hoping for something that would get a lot of use in the coming months. Not too fussy, not hard to wear, and would go with everything. I decided on the Nennir Cowl, and then all I had to do was discover favourite wardrobe colours.
Fortunately I had the exact colour of this yarn in my stash just waiting for the correct project and the right person who would love it. Would you like to know more?
The Canal House is a beautiful museum on the Golden Bend of the Herengracht in the main Amsterdam canal ring.
It promises you “400 years of canal history in 40 minutes”. And it delivers! Would you like to know more?
