Bank-ma to Laura.
I can't remember if I was at the British Museum. The National Gallery I remember. It was 27 years ago. Damn I'm old.
I'd want to hit the V & A, for sure. If and when I go.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I spent so much time at the V&A that I didn't have much time to hit all the other museums.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I visited the British Museum when I was seventeen. Would love to go back again.

I loved the Tower of London, in part because of the ravens that would just casually perch on the back of a bench you were sitting on. Pete informed me it was a crime to steal one, so NO, stop thinking about smuggling it out under my hat.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
On the honeymoon trip we went to the V&A, The National Gallery, The Tate Modern, and Courtauld Gallery which was a small museum but absolutely wonderful.

Our wings are not tired.
Jealous of all of you that have been to London! I haven't been out of this hemisphere yet. North to Canada and south to Ecuador and various islands including Jamaica, but never any further. Sad face. For now I shall live vicariously through Buffistas.
(my spell check wanted to change Buffistas to Fisticuffs)

And the Globe Theater, which is a must for me when I'm in London. We went to various other museums outside of London, but I'd probably have to look at TCG's notebook of the trip to remember them all. He took lots of notes while we were on trains. I can't read or write on a moving vehicle, so I listened to my iPod instead.
Laura, you and your DH should totally come to London with TCG and me sometime! If we can ever afford to go back again. This home ownership thing is both wonderful (peace and quiet, pretty painted walls, not having to call the police on upstairs neighbors) and a occasionally a pain (tax bills, heating service contracts, other random bills that seem to pop up every few days).

Ann, that's a ferret.
We visited the Globe in 1994, while it was being built. Somewhere at home, I have a photo of St. Paul's taken through the Globe's beams. I'd love to go back to see a play some day.

But they wouldn't be lost! One of them would have just been living in Seattle. Totally different.
