I really enjoyed the photos, though, and it all looks so very delicious. :) I also adore that Valkyrie mug - lol. It's great.<br /><br />I love your new page design, too.<br /><br />I have been following your journey in London via my email subscription, but have not commented in a while, so I thought I would come by and express my appreciation for your posts of late. I'm having a lot of fun "leaving" Paris and seeing a bit of London through your eyes.

Lots of touristy walking did counter-balance it a little, though. I really envy you seeing the newly opened ceramics collection at the V & A. When we visited last year it was all locked away and we keenly wanted to see the original of a particular ceramic bust which we have had for many years. We know it's there because we saw it in a re-run of To Sir With Love some time back. I guess we'll just have to get back to London.Hot Fudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619094221296697533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-9006226815381631232010-06-11T16:29:41.445-04:002010-06-11T16:29:41.445-04:00I want that English breakfast!
