I'm loving it out here in the country, East Grimstead, South of London. Taking a train somewhere every other day has been an adventure. Got off tube and came across Museum of Natural History, a lovely garden and a dinosaur. That was a surprise.
V&A Museum
A true highlight was Friday, 8/16/24, going into London and meeting a new friend at the Victoria & Albert Museum. I can't express how over the top this place is. From the tea room where we started to our end at the special exhibition of. I was in another world. I want to go back again and again and see every square inch. That could take over 10 days I'd guess.
Tea Room
Fun surprise to see Chihuly chandelier
My new friend Louise and I hit it off immediately and "do" museums the same way. Started with tea and getting to know each other, then with a cream tea break later. Just a great day.
Louise
Cream tea, but we had coffee
We focused on a special exhibit of photographs, Fragile Beauty, collection of Sir Elton John and David Furnish. I might have called it anything except Fragile Beauty. So much more, lots very adult and explicit. Many controversial topics in the day.
Marilyn's last photo.
Doris Day
Mask
Louise is a member so we got in free to this special exhibit and NAOMI in Fashion. Naomi Campbell, started modeling at 8. The exhibit was so well done. Tons of the clothes she modeled, fun.
This takes talent
Here she had a runway crash, poor thing. She smiled, got up and kept on walking.
Very fun seeing these amazing clothes
The third area we visited was Jewellery (British spelling). Each collection was shown in a perfect way. The chronological order and organization made thinThirdgs understandable. It was all delicious. These were difficult to take great photos of, so much bling, lights.
Shoe buckles
Coral and turquoise
A tool belt. Housekeeper wore this around her waist and had
little tools she needed right with her.
Man's pocket watch. Watch was in the watch pocket
and ribbon hung out.
