On the way home from a lecture at the British Museum, more Munch and not worth the effort, I stopped in at Borough Market to try to find a new bread, something sweet and some salami from the gal I bought from last week which I liked very much. I wound up with a 1/4 […]
this is another old post of notes that really are for my personal use. I can say the Wallace collection was FABULOUS and a must visit. I might make it the only museum I saw if I could see only one. Its in a great part of town to wander and eat. I was here, […]
Walked down to Liverpool Street Station to take the Circle or Hammersmith and City Line but a Metropolitan Line train came first. So, in the spirit of not caring, I hopped on and took it to Baker Street. About a ten minute walk to Edgware Road which is the starting point for the day. I’m […]
Finsbury Park was an option of where to find a flat when we first started looking. Now, having been there, I can safely say that we picked well. It does have a large Homebase (home depot type) store which is what brought us out this way. There is a large park and if you get […]

It seems I am here at The Victoria and Albert Museum every day. It’s just that there is so much going on and I became a member so even more information is coming my way. Today I arrived at the members reception desk and was directed across an indoor statue court up the stairs through […]
