Hyde Park and Liberty of London

Finally a quiet night last night.  Figuring it was Sunday I allowed myself to sleep until 7:30. Left about 8:30 to go and check out the artist along Baywater Street.  Walked back and forth a couple of times before making a selection from a nice gentleman.


Artists set up along Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens

Since I bought some fabrics yesterday at the V&A I wanted a couple more to go along.  Kept walking until I reached John Lewis which I knew from yesterday carried fabric.  Didn't find much there.  So I kept walking and looking.  I came to an area that I thought was pretty close to Liberty of London, so thought I would look for the store.  I found it.  They had quilts displayed in their display windows and inside the store as well.  I found a couple more fabrics to join the others, and then headed out.  It seemed an awful long ways before I finally found a tube station at Tottenham.  I figure I must have walked a couple of miles today.

Quilts on display inside Liberty were also for sale.



I had thought to take a London walk this evening, but after all the walking today, didn't think my feet would be up to it.  So stopped and bought more water, a pear Magner's (which I haven't tried yet) and a sandwich. Had a nice lunch at Garfunkel's today to make up for sandwich tonight.

Tomorrow is the antique market at Covent Gardens and a tour at 2:15 of the British Museum.  Also have to get my ticket for Tuesday to the antique market at Kempton Park.

Still haven't worked out the bugs with the Wi-fi here.  I may have to try the internet cafe around the corner tomorrow night.

Cheers!
