gin

Tate Britain and the Portobello Gin Company

by

Time for a bit of culture so off to Tate Britain http://www.tate.org.uk/visit/tate-britain

As well as the huge collection of Turners and a room full of Constables (and one of William Blake which does nothing for me) it was British art through the years.  Sadly I just missed out on the Hockney Exhibition

The Elephant and Castle at Vauxhall Station

Who knew Canaletto did England as well as Venice (not me obviously) they were wonderful

Henry Moore

Constable

 

Then time to check out another gin joint

https://www.portobelloroadgin.com/ Not a huge choice of gins as they make their own and no choice of tonic it all just comes in your glass and now I’m a gin connoisseur I like to taste the gin before I put the tonic in but I do like these glasses so I’m planning on buying some when I get home.

   

 

The gin pursuit June 2017

So yesterday it was https://mr-foggs.com/gin-parlour/

Upstairs and many of the staff were dressed up and the room was really quirky.   My gimlet was nice but small and very expensive.

But the hand basins in the loos were quite magnificent

Today a much more enjoyable experience

The range of gins was much more extensive and much cheaper and the staff were friendlier and I had a nice chat with a couple who had been given a gin tasting by their son (good lad)
