Those two galleries

Well, it has taken me a while to get to this. And events do just keep coming; I have millions more pictures to show you. But, back to my London trip...

The Tate Britain is full of, you guessed it, British art. Turner, among others. William Blake, Constable.


A very Kaffe Fassett cabbage, painted in the 17th century. Also in this picture was a buxom country lass, showing off her produce.


This guy! I think this was a painting about renouncing the material life and looking towards the church, but the lace on this fellow's legs was marvellous!


These are the Cholmondeley Ladies. They look the same, but they have their individual faces, laces and babies.


It was somewhat overwhelming. Of course we went to the gift shop, and did not buy this quite expensive tea towel.


Then it was on to the Science Centre, where we saw lots of things, but apparently didn't take many pictures. Here are some standard weights from different locations.


We wandered about South Kensington until we came to a very popular pub, where we had a bit of sausage and mash for supper. This was on the counter! In October!


Next week we take off for a bit of a holiday, with Stephen giving a talk at a  university along the way. I should have some lovely fall foliage for you, too! Oh, and knitting! I really must get caught up!
