Wish-Fulfilling Cows and Homesick Soldiers

There were two of these cows and I thought the Victoria and Albert Museum might not miss one, but it would have been hard to carry on the Underground.

There were gazillions of people downstairs queueing for tickets for the Alexander McQueen Exhibition, so instead I went to the Ceramics floor and had it all to myself. This piece had an idyllic landscape of home on the plate the soldiers are attached to.

...and here is the Sunderland Nuclear Powerplant.

Maybe that's how thewe tea-pots got melted.

    1. Yes, the ceramics were very satisfying:). I could see that cow in your house!

  2. Sounds like a lovely day out, Kathy. Endless things to see at the V&A. I must say that the Alexander McQueen exhibition is spectacular and well worth queuing for - although I saw it in March so the summer crowds hadn't yet descended.

  4. I would have queued but in fact the queue has started at 7am, and the tickets for that day had all gone anyway.
