Monday evening

On our schedule today was the National Gallery. A treasury of marvelous paintings arranged by time period and school. Some of us spent much time in the Dutch rooms; three Verneers captured our attention, but we also liked a piece by Cosimo of debauchery at a wedding. Centaurs everywhere with damsels on their backs.

A voila/piano concert at St. Martin's in the Field was a lovely interlude at 1:00pm. These concerts are held daily and free to the public--with a suggested donation of 3 pounds 50. A bargain.

Dinner at the Princess Garden rounded off a lovely day. My sweet friends bought me a gorgeous scarf from the V&A that was perfect for my outfit. And they treated me to dinner as well. I feel very cared for now.

Tomorrow will bring the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. I am then going to the Saatchi Gallery and hopefully to high tea in the afternoon. 

It is our last day here and we want to make the best/most of it.
