Bank Holiday in Filey & London


On Bank Holiday Monday we went to the seaside at Filey

Donkeys!

They have a lovely promenade



On Tuesday (we had both Mon & Tues off at the university), we went down to London to catch the Propaganda exhibit at the British Library. It's been going on for months, but I hadn't had a chance to get down to London (I haven't been in over 2 years!). It was put together by David Welch, the professor at University of Kent who helped with the Phil Taylor conference.

We took the coach this time, which drops you off at Victoria, and grabbed lunch at a Patisserie Valerie in Chelsea.

It was fun to see the area in real life--it's just like on "Made in Chelsea"...We overheard a ridiculously posh couple at a nearby table who sounded just like the people on the show. I was surprised they would go to a chain cafe instead of the pricier boutique restaurants we saw all around the area.

Sloane Square

St. Pancras

The British Library--I'd never been before, and it was amazing! I've been missing out! Especially considering the fact that it's free and right next door to the train station that I've been to so many times for the Leeds line!

Cookie has taken to sleeping in the bathroom on hot days...

Most of the time she's on a cushion in the living room, though. She's getting quite thin and only eats a little bit at a time. As long as she keeps eating and drinking and doesn't seem like she's in pain, we'll just see what happens. Poor little Cookster!
