Wednesday 21 May - taking advantage of Ian's absence I decided to go to London to see the Vanity Fair exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. I arrived in the city at around 11:30 and walked to the gallery via Buckingham Palace and St. James' park. After a few hours at the gallery I had a bite to eat and made my way to Notting Hill to visit another smaller gallery, Flow, which was featuring a show on bookbinding. After walking around Notting Hill, very posh by the way, I made may way to the Tate Britain to take in some lovely Rosetti's and Constables as well as a nice collection of Blake's work. Since all the galleries were now closed I took another more leisurely walk through St. James' park where the flowers were all in bloom and they had set out lawn chairs for public use. On my walk back to the station I got a steak and ale pasty for dinner and made it home by 10:30. A very successful outing.
