We headed off to see the Tate's re-staging of the only exhibition that William Blake had in his life time. Other highlights for me included a John Martin painting that I hadn't seen before. Another bonus included the Rothko and Turner rooms.

A Capital Day
This morning we left Croxley Green go into London. Our ultimate destination was Tate Britain but we called into a neat little jewellery shop just around the corner...

We headed off to see the Tate's re-staging of the only exhibition that William Blake had in his life time. Other highlights for me included a John Martin painting that I hadn't seen before. Another bonus included the Rothko and Turner rooms.
After Tate Britain we took a walk along the embankment toward the seat of British democracy, the place where some MP's think tax payers should stump up for their gardening, bath plugs, mortgage payments and capital gains tax.
Oliver Cromwell is saying nothing...
Over the road where there's a demonstration, Winston Churchill is keeping schtum as well...
I asked one of the policemen at Downing Street if Gordon Brown is at home as my pals and I want to have a few words with him. "He's up your neck of the woods" replies the officer with the rifle in his hands.
We find a nearby pub...

Then a nearby Chinese restaurant....
Then the crowds in Leicester Square...
