Soanes

Today, me and some of my fellow-studentinos were treated to a private tour of Sir John Soanes Museum. I've been there before, so I knew we were in for a bit of a treat. It was great to be shown around, and I still got that tingly-sensation when the curator in the picture room opened up the flaps to reveal what is hidden behind. One of the top places to visit in London I reckon. Next time I go it's going to be a drawing class I am told - yikes!

We retired for lunch in a nearby pub (which served an excellent pint of Bombardier I must say) before heading off to college, stopping for a coffee and muffin along the way. The evening was spent discussing Victorian sexual morality and porn, which is always a nice way to round off a Friday. I was knackered and headed home for Simon Schama's fantastic Rothko episode.
