Last week a friend and I went up to London and, thank goodness, this time there was no strikes in the offing so we were able to get on a bus to Trafalgar Square. From there we walked up the Mall and had grinning selfies with the Palace in the background. We were going to an exhibition at the King’s Gallery – The Age of Elegance. It covered the Edwardian era which is a time in history I love to read about. As the title says, elegant and of course stylish and beautiful. I appreciate that if you were a scullery maid or such it was not so elegant but I still find this period of history fascinating.
So in we went and oh my goodness, so much beauty and all fascinating. Faberge, Cartier, tiaras, pearls diamonds, we just kept going Oh Look Oh Look. Wonderful. I am putting a couple of collages on here to give you an idea of just how sumptuous it all was. And after a visit to the Gift Shop (I bought a Palace tea towel to add a touch of class to my kitchen) we walked back through James Park so beautiful in the autumn sunshine. A great day and we are back up in a week or two to the Cartier Exhibition at the Victoria & Albert and cue even more ooohing and aaahing…..
