I've been in London for four days now (hard to believe it's more than half over) and I'm having a great time! And it's not all been about book shopping. Since my post on Friday, I've been to see The Mousetrap (fabulous); then yesterday I went to the British Museum, where I attended a gallery talk on the collecting of arts from the middle ages, in the 18th century. I also went to the Museum of London, which has an excellent exhibition about Roman Britain.
Today I went to the Tower of London ( a tourist trap, but still, I always like going there when I come to England); and then I spent the afternoon at Hampton Court Palace, which is only 1/2 hour away from Waterloo Station by train. I don't know why, but we've got excellent weather here (they must have known I was coming, ha!), and it was really great to walk along by the river.
So that's been my weekend. In reading, I'm still on Elizabeth Chadwick's The Conquest--though coming close to the end. It's taken me a while: it's a long book, plus I've been busy with other things.

Do you know, I've lived in England for the past 9 years and I'm not sure I've been to the British museum more than once. I do love Hampton Court Palace though. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.
