Well the neighbors were at it again last night. I got to bed relatively early but was woken up in the night. Oh well. Went to Portobello Road by 7 am. Surprisingly I beat many of the vendors. Very crowded, probably because the weather was nice. I think it got to 68 today. Came back to hotel but stopped at Greg's sandwich shop for a tuna crunch sandwich. very good. Took a bit of a rest but was back out by 1:30 to head to the Victoria & Albert Museum.

Quilting friends, I finally found where all those antique sewing machines go when our grandmothers upgraded. It is clothing shops in England called Allsaints Spitalfields. See what I mean...
They have quite a wonderful exhibit on of quilts from 1700 to 2010. No photos were allowed so I picked up 2 copies of the show book. One for myself and one for our guild library. They also have some fabrics designed for this exhibition that were available in 1 metre, 1/2 meter and fat quarters. So I picked up just a few.
Wandered through Harrods, in one door, out the other side. Would rather shop at John Lewis or Selfridges. Will head up to my room shortly and try to finally download some of my photos using the laptop from work. Have had supper and a lager. It's about 6:50 pm now.
Cheers!
