Back to London I go.......

The V&A is a wonderful Museum, I just caught the last day of 1:1 Architects Build Small Spaces. It was interesting to see buildings on such a small scale and how easily they became Pisces of sculpture that were accessible to the public, rather than the typical scale models and drawings typically seen in exhibitions of this nature.

So over at people tree, they are having a vintage and fairtrade
fortnight where they only wear vintage or fairtrade!!
I've copied! Here's my week so far!

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

So far so good everything I have had on has been Vintage or from a clothes swap, so no fairtrade just yet, but my people tree vouchers came through the post yesterday!

So far Rohinton Mistry's A Fine Balance is by far the best if a little upsetting but thats what makes it a fantastic and belivable book, no happy endings for the sake of it. The same with the time travellers wife, everything could have carried on smoothly for them, but.....

Tate Britain

After a weeks work experience for People Tree, doing quality control. I had a day free to visit a gallery and so I used the only thing available to me the metro to pick a place to visit! Having no clue as to where any of the galleries are in relation to tube stops and fresh out of the Internet I jumped on the advert for the Romantics exhibition at Tate Britain because it supplied the tube stop.

We were given free tickets for the rude Britannia exhibition (Yes we do really all work in john Lewis and go out on day trips together!) It was fantastically funny especially the VIZ parts, British humour can be very childish at times and I like it. The baked bean can was a favorite!!


Here is a harrier jet just suspended from the ceiling, looked very surreal indeed.
