Have started to go out with DH on Saturdays to London to be tourists. Last Saturday we went to the Courtaud Gallery at Somerset House to see an exhibition of Cezanne paintings. We also saw Van Gogh with his ear cut off and some of Toulouse Latrec.
Outside they still had the ice skating ring so we watched them go around and around for a little while.
On the way back to Waterloo I spotted a pub called The Hole In the Wall which was featured in a book of Strangest Pubs in Britain that dh got for Christmas so we had to go in. i can feel another addition to the 101 list coming on.
This week we went to the National Gallery we couldn't see the Canelleto exhibition it was sold out but there were more than enough famous pictures to gaze at.
The Sunflowers by Van Gogh lovely Cannelettos not in the exhibition and David ordered a print on canvas in the gift shop of Eecherberg because he loved the blue sky in it.
We only stayed an hour so I didn't get too tired but I was happy with the pictures that we saw so off to the pub a very narrow pub called The Harp lovely beer so DH said and very comfy upstairs in what appeared to be a front room but full so could still people watch.
Having visited the Dulwich Picture Gallery again to look at a few Canelletos last year this completes my visiting 3 art galleries.
