What a week.....our accommodation near Hyde Park was perfect, very centrally located for shopping, the underground and sightseeing. We visited Dulwich, where I lived 40 years ago! At the Dulwich picture gallery, the first gallery in England, we found an exhibit of the Group of Seven....123 paintings. We had a great week, visited the London Zoo, Portobello Market, Tate Modern, the British Museum, and my favorite the Victoria and Albert Museum. Such a lot of wonderful sights.
For our one evening out we went to the theatre to see We Will Rock You, the musical based on the music of (who else) Queen! I really enjoyed it and Mike said he didn't hate it so a good time was had by all. For a little excitement we were evacuated from the theatre because of a problem in the booker room. It happened at the interval, and as we had preordered our wine we had a nice Merlot in hand as we stood on the street for 35 minutes. We met a nice police volunteer who had spent some time in Vancouver so we had a chat. He was wearing the traditional Bobby hat....said it was hot and uncomfortable!
Off to Stockport today.....more later.
