Day 3
Victoria and Albert museum
May 6, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Victoria and Albert museum is about furnishing and clothing. Lots of statues and busts. Pretty close and interior design. People can grab chairs that fold up and sit and do sketches of any of the artwork and busts and they'll be there for hours whether they're sketching or even painting.Read more

Day 3
Dress up
May 6, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
I found a store in London that has vintage reproduction clothes. It's not a chain. Everything they make is hand done using their own patterns. They had patterns that actually fit me! Needless to say I went a little nuts. The girls working there were super helpful. But I got a ton of stuff. The store was called Vivian of Holloway. Holloway is the part of London that I was in.Read more
Traveler I love those skirts.

Day 3
End of day
May 6, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
I had a fun day. I got lost a handful of times. But I think I have figured out the bus station and the tube. By the end of the day though I was playing chicken with my phone. My phone was almost dead and it's what helps me get home. I did make it but it was darn close.

I walked 13,000 steps today. I had a coffee and a yummy, but the rest of the day I didn't eat or grab a drink. So I got stuff at the local Tesco. Thank goodness for microwavable dinners!

I enjoyed the museum, and there was a ton to see. I didn't stay all that long though. Just a couple hours. And then it was another hour trying to figure out where this vintage store was that I found online. After that I had essentially four bags all together that I had to lug from there back to the apartment. And that took another hour to get back. And then I had to stop at the grocery store and that added another bag. Lots of weight lifting today. Tomorrow's plan is to hit a real Texaco not one of their Express thingies. Come back drop everything off and then I think I'm going to go to Woolrich and mudlark and shop. I'm going to try to stay away from zone 1 of London on the weekends.Read more

Day 3
Fishing
May 6, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Looking outside my window there's two gentlemen that are fishing on the canal! I knew that there were some fish that were coming back to the river but I didn't imagine there'd be enough to go fishing. And I hope to s*** they're not actually going to eat those fish! Those fish have to be radioactive or something. IckRead more

Day 4
Woolrich river
May 7, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
This was my luckiest spot last time. It took a bit longer to get there today cuz I got on the wrong damn training again. And I also had to go to the grocery store before this. But I found some nice stuff! But since I was late the tide was making me really nervous. So I wasn't able to stay more than an hour. I came up the stairs and a gentleman was eating over the rail looking down into the river but I was so close to that rail couldn't see me. I scared the crap out of him and he couldn't figure out what the hell I was doing in the river. So we had a nice chat. Really sweet guyI enjoyed my time talking with him. He thought I was nuts playing in the mud there. There was another gentleman that was looking over the side watching me earlier and asking if I had found any treasure. I had to explain that no I don't find any treasure.

There was also a big bear on the train to get to the river. This sucker was huge!Read more

Day 5
Best Morning yet
May 8, 2022 in England ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
I found two entrances to the river. I had to take the DLR and I was able to do it without using my phone both ways! I'm very proud of myself! I got to the river while the tide was still going down. So I was able to spend two hours without worrying that I was going to be cut off and have to swim. It's definitely the best time to be doing it. When I go when it's at the lowest I'm always watching the damn river afraid that I'm going to get cut off from the stairs. The spots that I was at had lots of big pieces. I found a bottom of an old Roman pot in two different pieces a little bit apart from each other. My bag was really heavy today when I brought it back to the apartment. Anyway I was able to spend over 2 hours on the river. And then lugged everything back to the apartment dropped it off and headed back out. There was a wonderful breeze, the sun was out and it was just perfect!Read more

Day 5
Greenwich market
May 8, 2022 in England ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
I'm by the cutty Sark. I was here a couple days ago and it was completely dead. There was no one on the streets. Today it's a completely different place. It is bustling with people. My husband would absolutely hate it! There's a fun little flea market type thing that's open and has lots of shops. I'm currently eating at a tie place watching the people go by.Read more

Day 6
Little nervous and amused
May 9, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
I'm on the way to Battle ridge and teeth. It's a bit out of town and then I'm going to go to Southern on sea. I'm a bit amused with myself because I'm all dressed up. Or at least dressed up for me I even put on earrings! No makeup of course though. I do have some standards.Read more

Day 6
First stop
May 9, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
I took a train to a little town called Battle bridge. Lots of antique shops. Unfortunately most of them were closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. But it was a really neat spot and I'll have to go back next time. It's a whole big area that's got little bitty shops and old houses of various centuries that have been converted into antique shops. One it shop in particular had Star wars stuff! I let out a very nerdy girl squeal when I went inside. I really wanted to bring that tauntaun head home. But I couldn't quite figure out how.Read more
