Valentine's Day dinner among Old Masters. Old clothes journey.

There is a gallery in South London that houses a collection of Old Masters was meant for the last Polish king, Stanislav August Poniatowski. (Sent for medical treatment to Berlin, the future king made friends with Sir Charles Hanbury Williams, a Welsh diplomat, writer and satirist who was the British ambassador in Dresden between 1747 and 1750. Sir Charles visited Poland to learn about the country's political system and witness a Polish Seym. He is remembered in the Polish, Russian and not only British history, for introducing Stanislav August Poniatowski to the future tsarine Katarine The Great of Russia which started the famous romanse, fatal for the king and his nation. Sadly, the British diplomat died insane in 1759.

The gallery I started this post with is Dulwich Picture Gallery and I mentioned it because you may wish to make it a destination for a Valentine's Day date venue this year, provided you can invest a hundred pounds  in a guided tour of the gallery plus dinner for two.:-) The event is advertised as suitable for adults only as the tour is going to focus on some saucy details!;-)

In an article 'Where do your old clothes go?' on the BBC News website today I  came across the following list of words from different languages:

The language of second-hand clothing

• Nigeria: "kafa ulaya" (clothes of the dead whites), "okirika" (bend down boutique) or even "London clothes"
• Ghana: "obroni wawu" (clothes of the dead white man)
• Zambia: "salaula" ('selecting from a bale by rummaging)
• Congo: "sola" (to choose)
• Zimbabwe: "mupedzanhamo" (where all problems end)
• Kenya & Tanzania: "mitumba" (bundles)
