It being SM's birthday we had our now traditional weekend in London. When it decided to snow, again. Not much, fortunately, but the wind was bitter, and it put paid to my suggestion of taking the boat down the Thames between two of our destinations, plus walking across Tower Bridge. Being outside was kept to a minimum. Fortunately by the time we drove home the main roads were clear and the snow had pushed off further west.
It's some years since I last went to Tate Britain, but we both liked the look of the Impressionists in London exhibition, so I booked tickets and we spent the afternoon wandering around, looking at the permanent exhibition as well as the one with the Impressionists. That was very interesting - and setting the paintings into the historic period added a lot. It's quite expensive, but if you're interested in that period of art then I'd recommend it. The scones, jam and cream were good too!
