Didn't wake up as early
as last week. The trains are functioning this week so I didn't need
to catch a bus to another train station. The train went directly from
Kew Gardens to South Kensington. I learned about the flowers that
were at the front of the chapel under a black plaque on the wall.
Evidently this plot was bombed on 3 July 1944 and the daughter of the
people who were killed has brought flowers to the chapel every year
since as a memorial. She has recently died so her daughter has taken
up the task.
After church I spent
the next 4 hours wandering through the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The exhibition I would have enjoyed seeing was about Shoes. However
that cost money so I missed it. What fascinated me the most was the
costumes from some films and stage shows. In particular the ones from
Lion King. So much work goes into these costumes.
I was looking at the huge statues and wondering how they managed to get these enormous heavy structures into the museum. Then I read the information at the entrance - they were all plaster casts of the originals.
