Visiting London

Just had a wonderful weekend in London, went to see Kristen Scott Thomas, Rufus Sewell & Lia Williams in Old Times, a Harold Pinter play, very odd to say the least!  The actors were fantastic & am so glad I saw them but the play was strange!

Anyway went to the V&A & one of my favourite rooms is the Cast Room, where they have plaster casts of famous buildings.  I just think it's absolutely amazing how they took the casts & then manage to put them together.
 Then there was a ballgown exhibition, this was a beautiful lace collar.
 The embroidery on this evening coat was so beautiful, cow parsley heads, i think.
 And then the knitted swimsuit, so practical!

The entrance to The V&A with the wonderful glass sculpture.

We had a lovely lunch at The V&A Cafe

 And then we went to Chinatown as we're having people over for dinner on Chinese New Year, so picked up some bits & pieces there.
