Snapshots from a London Taxi 

Gold against the blue....... Winged Victory watched the Hyde Park traffic circling around her. The main doorway. 
What amazing blue skies and lovely pictures. The V&A is one of the few things I miss about London. They have some of my dad's ceramics there but I don't know if they're actually out on show nay more. Probably in the bowels!

That was a delightful taxi ride! Now I am going back to look closely at that elegant woman in the limousine - at first glance it looks very much as though she had iPod earphones in place!

I love those glorious autumn days when there are those shouting blue skies with nary a cloud. You were lucky to get good weather for your outing. Maybe there is an on-line court calendar where you could look up to see who was in the landau.

Em - we spent a while up on the ceramics floor. They have new display cabinets and there seems to be more "out' now, both with studio work and with factory ceramics. Wonderful things.... So much history in every piece, as well as the art and design behind them.

I hope your Dad`s work is still on display. It must be very good to have even got through the door!

Rachel - I have just enlarged that photo. It is not the Grace Kelly figure of my imagination, but a young woman with her i pad on , as you said! There was me thinking it was a huge, expensive earring....:-)

Sigh, I want to go to London. No,change that. I want to win the lottery so that I can have a pied-a-terre in London, a cottage in the Lake District and another cottage with ponies grazing on the lawn in New Forest.

The only drawback to this plan is that I never buy lottery tickets. Oh, well, I can come to your blog and visit along with you.

It's funny when we lived in Bucks we were only a short train ride away and yet I never went to London. I did enjoy my armchair trip with you tho!

I know you had a wonderful day out AND you had the weather too! I enjoyed "our" taxi ride together : )

We are hoping, once we move, that London will be an option for us - Wales is SO far for a day out.

London is ok for a day out but I'd much prefer to live where you do.

So interesting to be whisked along on your taxi ride through London neighborhoods that I've only ever read about.
I've always found big cities intimidating, so if a trip to England had ever materialized I would likely have spent most of it in country places.
Museums and galleries can often seem like a visual overload--it would be nice to live where one could dip into them for a few hours at a time.

a perfect day for photos, what beautiful skies!
