Surrey County Cricket Club battingtoday at
The Oval
Today, I enjoyed an exceptionally beautiful day with my son. While we were watching Surrey batting, my mother rang and spoke with us. After a few hours and a couple of hot dogs, we went to the old home of the Photographer's Gallery - via McDonalds - where my son was delighted to be surrounded by comics.
We then went to the National Portrait Gallery. Viewed Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Shakespeare...George I, George II, George III, William Pitt Senior & Junior, Lord Alfred Tennyson, missed Charles Darwin but viewed Charles Dickens.
We followed this with some light refreshments and socialising with the QLGF - Quaker Lesbian and Gay Fellowship, where I noticed an Easter card which had been received from a Quaker meeting in Russia. My son chose his time with the Quakers as an opportunity to display and discuss his war planes artwork - not in line with conventional Quaker discernment, however Friends present were encouraging and conversed warmly with my son.
