One to recover from at least a little of the jetlag. 5 hours is getting more challenging to overcome quickly, but we don’t give in.
Day two, and we’re ‘up and at ‘em’. Actually a day trip to the Tate Gallery, via Tube.
Located in Pimlico, west London . The Tate overlooks the Thames.
We lucked into an exhibition of English Romantic Painters : Turner, Fuseli, Blake, Constable and the like.
Brilliant!
The Bridge of Sighs, Venice - Turner (sigh!)
Turners original sketch books . . . . . .
Constable . . . . Romantic masters all
almost too much to see and absorb in a bried afternoon
Fuseli – a Midsummer Nights Dream
more Turner – the shipwreck
Trafalgar
the dragon (top of hill)
Stunning!
And so home, and up early for another journey tomorrow of a different kind . . . ..
