A long break between blogs
Sorry. Life is passing by at a rate of knots and it's hard to keep up, particularly now that Brett's abandoned this blog for his own high brow writings.
So this will be more of a photo depiction, more than anything else, just to get through it all (and likely to be more interesting in any case).
So first, and now a number of weeks ago, was Nicole and Andrew coming to visit from HK and we were finally able to return the favour of accommodation and tour guide. we managed to cover tate modern, british museum, national gallery, natural history museum and V&A, as well as squeeze in The Revenger's Tragedy at National Theatre (I really liked the Revenger's Tragedy - it was written by Thomas Middleton, "the other Shakespeare" and he's a bit more direct, edgy and before his time than Shakespeare).
First night outside Tate modern.

Brett examining the (fake) Rosetta Stone in the library of British Museum

The Gay and Lesbian pride festival, stopping us from getting to St James' Park.

The magnificent facade of the Natural History museum.
Is it glass or plastic? A quick google search revealed that it was a blown glass chandelier at the entry way to Victoria & Albert.

One of V&A's more interesting souvenirs - a soft toy Vincent Van Gogh, complete with detachable ear!

On Westminster bridge.
