V&A and Regents Park

The V&A has an exhibition on of Princess Grace's clothes. It opened a couple of weeks ago so I went over this morning to try to get in. They had already sold out for the day by 10:30!! Oh, well, it's on until September and you can book ahead so another day, perhaps. The day wasn't a total loss-went through the new medieval and Renaissance galleries at the V&A-opened last year. Then as it was a nice day, went over to Regent's Park to see if their roses were out-not yet, but most of the other flowers were. I prefer Regent's Park to the other Royal Parks as it's usually not so overrun with dumb tourists!!!

Florentine sculpture-no comment on how it ended up in the UK!

Hard to tell, but she's chopping off his head

They've arranged it to look like an Italian courtyard

Waterfall-manmade, of course
