London for the Day.

17th February 2010.

Took a trip up to London to see a Sunny Golden Lane! Went up as one of the members in my group hadnt visited as of yet. Was completely different from when we visited before. There was such a warm feel about the place, completely the opposite to before and it wasn't just down to the weather. There were children and families using the space and people stopping to chat and catch up on the days activities!
Very interesting contrast from before!

Also poped down to the RHS design show! Was very dissappointed. Was nothing there that you haven't seen before, felt this was a bit of a shame. I have felt this way a lot recently about the RHS. They seem to be very old fashioned and not even wanting to leap into the modern world. One good point I noticed was however there plants! I would love to have that amount of knowledge of plants! Another of my aims in life.

After the design shows we walked down to the Tate Britain which I've never been to before so was quite excited, brought me back to my A Level Art classes, I love the options you can take in Art and where the Art itslef can take you. The Tate Britain was different and in some places was hard to make sense of however there was quite a few pieces i enjoyed looking into!

In an arty mind walking back to the station past the houses of parliament we came across some excellent photo oppitunities!!
