Back in the UK and Europe

Dear friends and followers,

It’s hard to believe I left Australia over a month ago, and have been travelling around the UK and Ireland.

I’m back in London staying with my sister, so it’s time to get my blog up to date.

Mmm, I think I may be becoming a lazy social media content creator (is that the right term) since creating an Instagram account. (@piecemealadventurer)

London does have its own beauty, as the view from the balcony at the Tate Modern shows

Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate what a great art city London is. Melbourne, my hometown is no slouch, but the breadth of art in London makes one feel spoilt.

There is the public art around the streets:

In London, suburbs like Ealing there are wonderful galleries doing exhibitions such as Grayson Perry’s tapestries.

Or The Expressionists at Tate Modern:

And the work of the Barbadian, Taveres Strachan at the Heyward Gallery;

Above the arts precinct, there was the sign

You belong here

And on a hot day every young person was at home with art.

  4. I need to go back to London! So much to see and never enough time.
    I was back in the UK for 3 weeks Dec/Jan; London for only 3 nights, and I did not post a single entry on my Blog and maybe two photos on Instagram. I have a lot of catching up to do if only for my memory.

    1. It’s expensive but a wonderful city. I’ve been here in winter and I didn’t enjoy it. The cold was OK but the short days- I didn’t enjoy
