The Albatross
Wednesday 26 June 2019
After a bit of a sleep in after a late-night last night, Johnny, Tuna and I caught the tube out to the National Archives in Kew, where they are doing a cold war exhibit. It was quite good, but I was hoping for some more papers about spies, covert operations and government secrets, however there were only a few of these.
After lunch Johnny had to depart due to a previous rendezvous, so Tuna and I headed into London centre, to see the very quirky Sir John Soane’s Museum. It basically lots of old bit and pieces he collected over the years, such as old bits of statues, models of temples, bits of cornice, paintings and even a sarcophagus, all arranged seemingly a bit randomly in a bizarre warren of a self-designed house, with weird views, windows and angles. Unfortunately you aren’t allowed to take photos but there is lots online.
Sore feet eventually won out, and we departed back to Johnny and Bridget’s to plan tomorrow. We failed to do this, however, we did have a lovely meal at one of the local pubs.
