Visit to the Affordable Art Fair

Toby phoned briefly to say he had arrived home safely. After doing a few chores Mas and I went off to the Affordable Art Fair as usual, and as usual we called into the Oriel and had a white wine in the downstairs bar before taking the courtesy bus from Sloane Square.


















The Oriel

We thought that the displayed art was better this year, and it was being well attended despite it being the last day of the exhibition.

We returned home exhausted after this outing!

On FORM with Christiane and busing home.

As planned I met Christiane at Hendon and we travelled by tube to Olympia and went to the FORM: London exhibition. There were lots of interesting things displayed : ceramics, pottery, furniture, jewellery, sculpture, beautiful and striking felt carpets, http://www.feltrugs.co.uk/ and all kinds of art. We stopped midway and had a coffee and mini biscuits, then continued looking. I think we saw everything!












Before we left we shared a pizza at the Pizza Express then decided to go home by bus. We took the 27 bus and took the scenic route to Chalk Farm, but instead of the bus stopping at the station it stopped by a large supermarket. We asked the directions from a friendly man, and soon we zipped home on the tube. That was an interesting and fun day out!
Toby phoned in the evening to let us know he would be arriving from Canada very soon which is exciting!
