Thursday 19 August-Since Ian is away and I was offered Thursday off work in exchange for working a Saturday, I took advantage of two week days free to visit Caryn in London. I arrived in London a little after 12 and made my way to Caryn's flat. We went straight to the V&A where we immediately had lunch. Then with our tummys full we perused the re-opened medieval and renaissance wing of the museum as well as a few other galleries. One of the most entertaining items in the renovated galleries was a number of jars made to look like people. On our way out of the museum we were stopped by a V&A employee who chatted our ears off for about 20 minutes before we were able to escape and head over to the National portrait gallery. After a walk through the NPG we went to Selfridges for a cocktail (very expensive but also very Delicious, I had prosecoo with wild strawberry puree and elderflower cordial). Next was a tube ride to a Lebanese restaurant and a lovely mezze meal with belly dancing and mint tea and baklava for desert.
