Had a simply smashing day today. Slept until 8:20 am after several fits and starts. Went to the National Gallery which was simply lovely (and filled with loads of schoolchildren groups). Then, popped into the National PORTRAIT gallery and back to the hotel for some painting before High Tea at the Savoy. It did not disappoint! Charming, beautiful and delicious. Expensive yes, but the sandwiches were unlimited, and so were the pastries! My lovely server Deepra was efficient, friendly and so accommodating. Had two types of tea - one with savories and one with sweets - and indulged in the champagne, as well as the HIGH tea (which included a hot dish- amazing!). Came back to the hotel for more painting, and then, a wonderful one night production called "Mrs. Kapoor's daughter's wedding 2 Mauritius. A fantastic show with bollywood dancing, gurjarati dialogue, and a silly, funny overall mood. The audience was filled with Indians, and I take it this has been done before numerous times in one night productions on the West End. Back to the hotel where I did more painting, streamed a Netflix movie and had some leftover snacks with tea. Now, I'm trying to get myself to sleep. Ah well, making the most of my time in London town.
Tomorrow is the Pick and Cheese with my college chum. One more glorious day in London before heading off to the castle!
