The return of Z, a glassing, feasting, bunny tails
... today.
After another late lazy start we tubed it across town. Three (?) of London’s museums are accessible off a very long tunnel from the ?? tube station. Very convenient considering London’s variable weather.
V&A is all about the visual and decorative arts and was amazing. There is some truly incredible stuff.
We gave the ball gown show a miss (didn’t even look how much) although there ...

Its amazing that I didn't even know her before. She's helped make this adventure an amazing one. The taxi ride to the embassy was much shorter than expected, but it was a good thing we got there extra early. Turns out we aren't allowed to bring any sort ...
