Art & Archeology.

The Museum of London lived up to the hype, three hours easily spent. Then it was rain dodging to a cafe for lunch before continuing with culture at the National Gallery only to find that some of the staff were taking Industrial Action so only half the rooms were open, consequently I missed seeing my favourite picture The Fighting Temeraire but I did get to see Vincent's Sunflowers and the haunting unfinished Three Men and a Boy by the le Nain Brothers also I was amazed at the fresh realism of Van Dyke'S paintings which were painted nearly four hundred years ago. Listen to me, I sound like a real culture vulture but I just like what I like, actually I am a real Philistine, most of the French impressionists leave me cold.
Anyway that is a surfeit of culture for me I am going exploring tomorrow if the weather forecast holds good. I plan to go to Camden etc to see the markets and meet the people.
