Self is thinking of “spare” as in “simple.” Below, three more examples.
First picture: 6th floor, Tate Modern in Banksea.
The view. It’s all about the view.
The meat pie isn’t bad, either.
The Tate Modern is housed in what used to be the Battersea Power Station. In keeping with its industrial spirit, everything in the Tate Modern has that utilitarian feel. Even the restaurant, on the 6th floor. It’s called The Kitchen.
2nd: A few days ago, self was in Oxford. Her host, Jenny Lewis, took self (and Abigail, whose 9th birthday is coming up! And Abigail’s dad, Tom) on a boat ride.
Oxford is 120 miles from London. She vaguely remembers the guide saying it took about three days to go by boat from there to Oxford (This was probably in the era of the Tudors)
Here’s the view at the start of the boat trip:
Boating in Oxford: Sunday, 29 May 2016
Final picture: When self is in London, she stays in a very simple hotel. She loves to walk, and explore bookstores and museums. Though she never ends up straying very far from Great Russell Street.
Those slash marks in self’s half-broke camera turned out to be a plus! Especially in taking pictures like this, that have a very “still” quality.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
