London's Victoria and Albert Museum holds massive collections of textiles and
ceramics
A taste of France in London.
Something delicious.

At the Victoria and Albert Museum I look at 400 examples of French
lace. Rich examines a collection of armour. The tapestries and textiles are incredible and
equally amazing is how they have climate-controlled the entire exhibit . We also look at
an exhibition of women’s fashions from the 17th century to the present
day. A woman donates her designer wardrobe to the museum. It consists of over 300 outfits.
The designs range from very classic to totally outrageous high fashion.
Sipping coffee at a lovely Patisserie on Oxford Street, a Full Fat
mochaccino is worth every sip…very hot, very chocolatey. Very foamy. There are
scones and jelly-filled doughnuts. Walking back through Hyde Park, it’s fresh
but not cold. And empty. There are very few people walking through the park in comparison
to the streets. |
Our trip mantra in plain english
Rich takes a break from a jelly doughnut
To sit in a London Park.
Sun setting over the Serpentine, Hyde Park. |
