Ladies (well us boys) that do Lunch

>
My friend Neil often says I am a lady that does Lunch. Well, why not indeed. Especially when work call you up the day before and say that due to no fault of your own there is no need to go to work today on full pay (Lucky Bitch.

So this evenings plans of meeting my friend John for dinner were bought forward. With a whole day at our expense John insisted we see something of the city and so started the day with a quick tour of Kensington Palace, former home to Diana Princess of Wales.
Having lived in London all of my life it was one of the many places I had yet to visit and sadly we had to rush through the audio tour so as not to be late for our luncheon engagement.

The Staterooms of Kensington Palace really are something but I particularly enjoyed the pictures of Diana. Its always interesting to hear about the unique history our wonderful country has to offer.

Starting the tour and hearing how the upper classes used to be invited to court to meet with the Royalty. In fact something that happened until as late as the 1950s when in post war Britain it seemed inappropriate with changing times.

The Palace was stunning and the Gardens even more so as we made our way across Kensington Gardens and down to Knightsbridge for our Lunch at the Restaurant at Harvey Nicholls. John is one of the few gentlemen that I know that really appreciates things of class and taste and so a fabulous, yet pricey, luncheon was had. I enjoyed Fois Gras, Seared Angus Beef and a selection of cheeses along with some Bordeaux and couple of glasses of the finest champagne (Lucky Bitches).


After that it was a short taxi journey to the Victoria & Albert Museum. John being my informative tour guide tells me that the Great Exhibition of 1851 made so much money with its 6 million visitors that it was from this money that the land was purchased on which now stands the Victoria & Albert, Natural History & Science Museums. We wandered around the V&A for a couple of hours taking in such awesome art work that cant be described in words.

a spot of tea in one of the Museums inner Courts that would not have looked out of place in Rome, such amazing architecture. In fact, all I can do is put pictures up to explain.

Fabulous day out, discovering the treasures of our beloved capital City.

Tomorrow…. Madonna Show Tickets (Lucky Bitches)
