We had another day off work today, and we went out again!!
We're getting a train from Hove Station!! Wonder if the weather will cheer up?
Our train was delayed a bit but that's OK.... we'll still have plenty of time when we get to the other end!!
And we're off!!
We're coming to London again!!
We're at Victoria!!! We had to pop into the Underground first because apparently we can link our Oyster card to Andrea's senior railcard so we'll get a third off the underground trains when we use them!!
After that, we headed off to get our bus!!!
We need this bus stop today......
BUS BINGO ALERT!!! We're getting the C10!
We left this on the rail!
We're off!!
Oh!! That's that funny sculpture at Pimlico!
And we got off here, at the Tate Britain!!
We left another one on the railing!
We're meeting a friend here who's got Tate membership and she's going to get us into the Lee Miller expedition!
We're a bit early but that's OK. We can play in the gift shop for a bit.
We used the facilities too, and left this one here!
When our friend arrived, we went upstairs to the Lee Miller show and had a good snoop around!
Apparently Lee Miller started off as a model for Vogue.
Later she started taking the pictures - this one is of another artist Joseph Cornell, we saw an expedition of his a few years ago at the Royal Academy. It was fab!
Lee Miller also did war photography.....
Afterwards we went downstairs and had a coffee and a good ol' chat.
Afterwards, as we each had different plans for the afternoon, we said goodbye and headed off to the bus stop.
We left another mini artwork on these railings!!
Ah, here's our stop!
We're getting the C10 again!
We gave them this!
And we're off!
We had to get off here to change buses....
And we got the 360 bus!
They got this one!
And we're off!!
We had a bit of a diversion, and ended up going along the Thames opposite Battersea Power Station!
That's a pretty view!
With interesting skies.....
Then we went past these posh buildings.
That's a pretty fence there....
Oh I remember this building!!!
It's the Michelin building!
And then we got off here at South Kensington!
I'm starving hungry now, where are we eating??
HURRAAYYY
They were very busy but they had a table for us to use..... and got us a fizzy drink!
And then we got Fiorentino pizza and IT WAS YUMTASTIC!!
We used the facilities and washed our paws carefully and then paid the bill and headed off.
We needed this bus stop next....
BUS BINGO ALERT!! We got the number 70!
They got this one!
And we're off!
Oh, this is off High Street Kensington....
And it goes up to Notting Hill where we got off the bus and headed off to find the next bus stop
On the way we spotted a statue on a roof with a bird sitting on its' hand!!!
Ah, here we are!!!
BUS BINGO ALERT!! We're getting the 31!
We tied this to the rail.
Those pillars have mosaics on them.....
Oh wow, those are posh buildings!
That's Shepherds Bush station over there.
And this is White City, the last stop!!!
Then we headed over here for the last stop of the day!
It's the C1 back to the station!
They got a smile card!
Those are posh, too
That's teh Design Museum at Holland Park!
And there's the Natural History Museum!
And there's the V&A!
Then we went through Knightsbridge....
That tree looks like it has a face!!
What a fun day.....
The weather cleared up for us in the afternoon too!
And we ended up here at Grosvenor Gardens
It's home time.....
We did a spot of shopping at Lush and then our train was there so we got on!
And then headed off!
We had a good snooze on the train but woke up in time for our stop.
And then walked home - well we ran home because it was raining!!!!!
Andrea got another bubble bar. Weirdo.
