It has been
a few weeks since my previous post, but I did not have much to write about.
One interesting thing, we had a little break the weekend before last, another weekend in London, this time with my better half… it was gorgeous spring weather, we were so lucky.
Any trip we
take always involves f – o – o – d .
On Friday it
already started in the train from the airport to Victoria Station: a little
detour to the M&S shop at the airport for a snack on the train:
Once checked
into the hotel we first went for a lovely lunch at Lebanese restaurant
Comptoir, not only was the food great, but the atmosphere as well:
When I am in London with my husband our first visit is usually to Denmark Street where the guitar shops are located
After that
we went to The British Museum, which I wanted to visit for years already,
because of
this, the Great Court and it was spectacular!
And just
like the Victoria and Albert Museum, no entry fee, you can visit the museum for
free (you can leave a donation), can you imagine that in our country?
On Saturday I
spent time in the cellar of Shaukat again, that Alladin’s cave filled with
Liberty fabrics, I got some nice scraps:
Lunch at the
Farmer’s Market on King’s Road, yes, the oyster truck was there again!
The
afternoon was spent here:
And dinner
was at our favourite Indian restaurant, Massala Zone
Sunday we
woke up to another sunny day, this was the view from our hotelroom that morning:
When the
weather permits we usually go for a long walk on Sunday morning in London and I
can never resist pictures of those London entrances, I love them!
And in case
you were wondering, yes, we were in London the same weekend as my fellow
Feathergirl Hubertine and it really was a coincidence we booked this trip in
the same weekend, we had a good laugh when we found out a few weeks before!
So now it’s
back home and back to handquilting my Jacob’s Ladder, which is another reason
for not writing a lot on my blog, this just takes a long time but I do want to
concentrate on it as much as I can, can’t let this become a ufo!
Just like in
my London pictures I see the sun is out again now, enjoy!
Wat een heerljk uitje en ook daar zo volop voorjaar. Eeehhh het was wel behoorlijk veel lekker leuke zalige eetplekjes ! Jammie.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIk ben benieuwd naar je ladder!
Kan me voorstellen dat het wel even lachen was toen jullie ontdekten dat je tegelijk in London waren,
Wat een heerlijke foto's. Eerlijk London always gives me the right feeling. It always will be 'the place to be!'
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWat een heerlijk weekend hebben jullie gehad met voor ieder wat wils zo te zien. Je quilt wordt mooi met die steekjes!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh how fun! Good for your to have some down time with your better half.:)

BeantwoordenVerwijderenDat is een heerlijk weekend geweest. Ik zou daar ook wel graag eens willen rondkijken!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenZoals ik ook al bij Hubertine schreef, londen is een heerlijke stad! Een stad om regelmatig naartoe te gaan. Hotels moesten alleen qua prijs en kwaliteit wat meer zijn afgestemd.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLekker nagenieten.
Wow! You guys had the best time! Great pictures!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe British Museum is one place I have to visit too.
