London is Bursting with Colour

London is in full bloom..magnolias,camelias, cherry blossoms and dafs everywhere. Quite wonderful to smell the fragrances and see green again..We stayed at the Chelsea Arts Club which is an extraordinary historical meeting place for artists and company. Pool table, bar, restaurant with a very long table where everyone talks to everyone. Roger was very pleased to have his full english breakfast each morning.

Our purpose was to hang a show at the Garden Museum, however I discovered that the framed pieces were not ready....that's what happens when you use another framer(not roger),so off we went to the Victoria & Albert museum where we saw the unbelievable ceramic, blown glass and jewellery collections. We were knocked off our feet.

Next day went to hang the show with the frames finally done..The Garden Musem is next to Archbishop of Cantebury's residence....first time there we knocked on his door looking for the museum...we weren't invited in for tea...

London is an amazing city, bustling, busy so much to see and the food is fantastic! Bring cash.....

  1. Hi Linda,
    Your pictures of the I'm colored series are great. Montreal is not in bloom yet. I'm glad you're having a great experience, I'm envious a little bit and proud of my teacher and mentor.
