A tragic Bloomsbury lady and UFO in Hyde Park

Yesterday I saw Virginia Woolf, an exhibition on the life of a remarkable woman at the National Portrait Gallery. Highly intellectual, talented and well off, her life was marred by bouts of serious mental illness which finally led her to take her own life.  Before she drowned herself, she wrote two letters: to her beloved husband and her sister, in which she assured them of her love and admitted that she couldn't cope with the burden of the illness any longer...

On the way to Covent Garden I saw this poster and am adding it here especially for my dear beloved readers who are big fans of Alice in Wonderland:

Finding an inexpensive and decent lunch in that area is not easy. It had to be a salad from M&S.

Covent Garden Station was closed so we descended into the tube at Leicester Square, emerged at Hyde Park Corner and were fortunate to win the race to the only free bench at the rose garden in Hyde Park to consume the late lunch!

Nicely nourished, we had the energy to walk through the park, along the Serpentine, all the way to see this years structure at the Serpentine Gallery!

 We were ready for a nice cup off tea, but the place was closing...
After a nice rest on a bench where we were joined by a chatty retired architect originally from Denmark, we headed for the tube on the north side of the park. It was quite a walk.
