London, on day of cold sunshine and incredible amounts of late afternoon rain. We walked from South Kensington to Covent Garden and across to the London Eye, where the painted galloping horses were the only colour in a grey deluge.
We missed lunch altogether, but made up for it with tea at the National Portrait Gallery.
Wonderful views, neatly cut sandwiches, pots of tea and cupcakes displayed on a cake-stand for very careful choice. Iced pink, or blue or yellow, dusted with silver and sugar flowers - such a temptation, but certainly not to over-indulge - given the Alice in Wonderland price-tag. We are not ladies that lunch - we are Ladies that Tea.
The V & A for the quilt exhibition, well worth the visit - quilts of extraordinary complexity, some made in impossible conditions - on convict ships, in Wandsworth Prison - sheer talent. An absolute delight.
The V & A is an absolutely wonderful museum for dipping in and out of -back again in a couple of weeks............
