Monday, rain has ceased probably for this trip, at least the London portion.

Breakfast at Paul’s. Basque style eggs and peppers. Yes a lot of food pictures. We mostly walk from one meal to the next.

Italian garden at Bayswater side of Hyde Park.

Now legal in the UK.

Fried wontons, parts, tomatoes.

Tuesday. Rain has ended and warming trend beginning.

A longer walk today, to the Chelsea physic garden, entrance above.

Naturally a fine salad before a treasure hunt around the garden.

We have been there many times. This time there is an exhibit of lettering and are pieces. Each piece hand carved, often with bits of poems. A treasure hunt in the sense of the map provided was not….

From the write up it appears that the exhibit, many focused on botanticals, refers to the book some of us discussed “Drink”.

Wonderful planting of peppers, shapes and colors.

One of the more interesting areas was a display we have not seen in the past. Fabrics made of multiple plants. Even fig. Touching allowed. Maybe 20 our more of these examples.

Dinner. JD stopped by for a cameo.
