London 1st to 3rd December 2014

Down with Alison and Peter, we got to the hotel (the Rembrandt) at 2 or thereabouts.

Then for an early dinner Bistro Zedel's,



before going to The Prince of Wales Theatre to see 'The Book Of Mormon'.



Next day after breakfast we got to the Tate Britain



at 10:00 .... Jane & Stan got there at 20 to 10! We found each other just before 10:30! We went around the Turner Exhibition and then got a cab to Dishoom's.



This Bombay cafe was very good ... We had two types of samosas, Bhel and calamari plus an IPA Kingfisher and 2 Lassis then got Holeen, a special dark dhal sauce and Gunpowder Potatoes! For desserts Stan and Margaret had ice lolly-type Mango and Pistachio Kulfis and I had a Kala Khatta Ice plus Jane had a nice Cinnamon Ice Cream. We had coffees and tea too.

Back to the hotel via H&M to get some gloves for me ... on the Tube was David Robb



Then to The Savoy for Tea



... before Dirty Rotten Scoundrels!



Then back to the hotel. In the morning after breakfast we went to the Victoria & Albert Museum ...

Saw Constable - the Making of a Master



then, after coffee and a quick look in the courtyard,



we went into the 'Wedding Dress' exhibition



then to the Japan section and having looked at the China bit we then left to go for our train home...



We did have a tea and scone in Fortnum & Mason's at St Pancras.



Train back home, though delayed - we got into Leeds at 18:42 instead of 17:48.

Home to frost and a frozen gate at 19:35.
