Ian is spending 2 days in the dungeons of the Natural History Museum researching turtles while I'm happy exploring above ground. At the Natural History Museum I visited the 'wild garden' exhibit, a fabulous installation of different wild environs, including heaths, meadows, woodlands, reed beds and a pond. It is surreal to find these wild places right in the middle of London.
We got a private room in the youth hostel I stayed in 37 years ago. 21st century youth hostels are a different beast from what they were in 1980. Gone are the sleeping bags, memberships and dingy shared bath rooms, replaced by all the services of a hotel, including breakfast, free wifi and a cafe. All this within walking distance of all central London has to offer. Ian walks to the museum, a bit like going to work, whilst I revisit Knightsbridge, Regent and Carnaby streets, parks and galleries.
At a visit to the V&A, I secured tickets to the Pink Floyd exhibition currently on. We go there tonight after 'museum' work - I think they must have known Ian was coming 😂
