We had a lovely lovely day yesterday. It was my first visit to Buckingham Palace. I enjoyed seeing the State rooms but  wished we could see more. I would so like a glimpse of their real lives and their kitchens!! Although I completely understand why we can't! Their lives are so different from mine! These pictures are taken from the gardens which are lovely although you are aware that you are in the middle of busy London. 

After the Palace we decided that I still had some energy left so we went to the Royal Academy to see the Bronze exhibition. I had forgotten that I liked bronzes until we were there! I fell in love with them in Florence. There was the most beautiful tiny bronze of a man in the exhibition which you were allowed to touch. I would have loved to bring him home. They can keep their huge statues and heads but this little man was very wonderful. 

 Earlier in the week we went for a walk which ended at a farm shop. These are pictures of their lovely chickens and tiny piglets. I love the gentle cooing that chickens make - although I am not sure I would like to wake to that sound every day!

This weekend - flowers, ladies who lunch and bible study, 
Chloe home, Strictly, shopping with Chloe, more Strictly with Joy and Chloe, church, roast dinner - and planning next Saturdays visit to The Knitting and Stitching Show!  A lovely weekend!
