And So It Starts, You Switch The Engine On, We Set Controls For The Heart Of The Sun...


It is sooo nice when people around you are happy. William and Kate's wedding kick started the long Bank Holiday weekend with everyone out in good spirits, celebrating and relaxing. My friend Ling and I thought to partake in our own activities too for the day.


The Courtauld Gallery at Somerset House has great collections of Impressionist and modern paintings amongst others. Seurat, Van Gogh & Manet were highlights and the gallery, albeit smaller than others in London, is an excellent place to visit. We were going to go to the British Musuem but after a spot(!) of sushi in Covent Garden, we decided to leave it for another time as we had filled ourselves to the point of needing to lie down for a nap! After, we wandered around for the rest of the day.
     
An enjoyable day catching up with Ling, as always! Many laughs and stories to be shared whenever we are together. It has made me think during this time of celebration and happiness, of how we should always be appreciative of the people we have in our lives and I am glad I have people like Ling to do so with. We were only reunited a few years ago after a spell of absence but it seems no time has passed at all between us. Love this girl to bits!

The Courthauld gallery in London is such a treasure. I absolutely love going and sitting in front of Manet's Bar at the Folie Bergere. Iconic! Looks like you had such a perfect day, the sushi looks so delicious!

The Royal Wedding was beyond adorable! I wish I lived in London -__-. I've always wanted to go there, maybe study abroad or transfer? I love your nails! The color is perfect for spring :)
