Train in rain and fog

During our two days in London we visited several big museums and spent a day in Kew Gardens. Annikki was waiting to see Rothko works in Tate Modern, but they were sent to Paris for an exibition. However, several fine old paintings in National Gallery were like an award. In the Museum of Natural history we said hello to Hope the blue whale, that we learned to know from the works of Annikki’s photography group. We staid in a modest little hotel near the StPancras and Kings Cross stations and had our dinners in a cosy Italian restaurants Casa Tua near the hotel. Next towards Scotland Inverkeithing.

Worse luck had Hope, the blue whale, who drifted to the Irish coast. Now she is hanging from the ceiling of the Natural history museum
