Sat Aug 25

Began at Heywood Hill Bookstore, famous for Nancy Mitford's time there. Unfortunately closed for bank holiday.


Morning visit to the National Gallery. Too many high points to discuss but look up The Fighting Temeraire on Google. Then tubed over to Gloucester Road to see the bookstore "Slightly Foxed", once owned by Graham Greene's nephew. From there, the Wallace Collection, a fantastic private collection with stunning Canali, Dutch and British paintings. On to The Marylebone pub for happy hour, then to our favorite restaurant "Orrery". Vacation is hard work.
