The day off

A perfect day out, in my view:

The inspiring exhibition of quilts at the V&A. This picture is from their website as it was very dark in the rooms and the light of camera flashes would have damaged the fragile textiles. Most of these works, contemporary or not, took years if not decades before completion and I like the fact that a part of the maker's life seems deeply embedded in them. It is a very lonely venture.

A bit of shopping.

and this.

And the Japanese theme continued when Ros and I found this place. Beautiful design and beautiful food. We had to observe a mini ceremonial and wait until the hourglass had emptied before pouring our green tea.
