Another trip to London

I get the train late morning after doing some admin on a sunny and cold day.  I have lunch with my baby in Green Park then walk all the way to Tate Britain via St James Park. 

I love the city but wish ordinary people could live at it's heart. 

I arrive tired but am soon envigorated by the  Hockney Exhibition at tate-britain I enjoy early work from the 60s which I have not seen before.

More classic work from the 60s and 70s

The Artist's parents

Then I am into the 80s

Lastly I enjoy works produced in Yorkshire which we saw a few years ago as well as the iPad series. 

Best of all were his amazing sketches including a self portrait done when David was 17 in 1954, the year I was born.

Revived by a massive piece of carrot cake and a pot of earl grey I wander through Pimlico to the Buddhist Society for a talk on the early scriptures. 

I have a peaceful train ride home amused by a little black pug.
