George and More

Here is the reason we went down to London

which was

  a-maz-ing

But we made the most of our time away

with my first trip to the V&A

to see a few pieces of ceramics

Just a few pieces

and of course the textiles,

I love this mini dress.

We saw the ballgown exhibition as well but weren't 

allowed to take photos.

They have  a new exhibition opening soon

with  hollywood costumes which my daughter and I 

are planning to see at some time.

Sunday was a day just wandering around Central London

and I had to look twice when I saw this on the outside of 

Harvey Nichols.

We then went onto Green park to see the new memorial 

to WW2 Bomber Command.

My Father was on Bombers and I really wanted to see this.

It really is impressive which I sort of expected having seen 

news coverage of the memorial

But what I hadn't expected

was the photos,stories and poppy crosses piled under

 and around the figures and the effect these would have on me.

Knowing it was only an appendicitis that saved my Father

from being shot down with the rest of his crew

I was very moved by these personal memorials.

Thank you to everyone for your  comments

and concern.

 I am feeling much better now

 which is lucky as I'm going on holiday 

to Italy on Friday so I'll see you all when I get back.
