Paddington – Juniper and Cocoa

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

Tate Britain

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.

An amazing day at the V&A https://www.vam.ac.uk/- it was a sensory overload. I spent about 5 hours there and probably saw less than 5% and took in only probably 1% of that. These photos are the culled ones – you should see the rest

First I had morning tea to celebrate Elise’s birthday but sadly without Elise but it was fun anyway. Maitre Choux in South Kensington http://www.maitrechoux.com/

Hot chocolate about 7/10, choux about 6/10 but the little croquette 9/10

Then across the road to the V&A and a wonderful day
