London Life

I know I haven't been writing any entries lately, and it's because I'm planning on a nice summarising newsflash when I get back home. However, when Mummy told me she has been checking at this website every day, the guilt just got too hard to bear and, so, it is now past midnight and I am recovering after yet another fabulous day in London while writing some lines about it.
The rainy Norfolk weather and the ancient scrolls of the Knettishall parish records are behind me now and I have spent these three last days in my favourite city in the world after Helsinki. I have visited two museums and attended THREE concerts/shows. Today I visited the Victoria and Albert museum, and it's certainly the most fascinating museum I've ever been in. Being the world's largest museum of decorative arts, it houses around four million items and I spent the time inspecting, among others, Japanese jewellery from the 1700s, Indian tapestries from the colonial times and ancient elaborate crosses. There was also a big collection of musical instruments and an exhibition of fashion. Museum fatigue usually sets in after two hours, so that's when I headed back downtown, after passing the Royal College of Music and the Albert Hall. I just came back from the theatre, where I saw Chicago.
One of the things I will still maybe do is visit the London Eye, which is the largest ferris wheel in the world. It was built for the millennium celebrations and is situated just opposite the Houses of Parliament. On a clear day, you can see beyond the London centre and the views are supposed to be the best in the city. The catch? IT COSTS 12,50!!!! So, if I have any money left, that's the last thing I'll do.
Another thing on the agenda tomorrow is visiting Westminster Abbey for the choral service at five. I queued outside the abbey today for half an hour, only to be told there wasn't any choral service today and admission to the abbey was 6 pounds. However, tomorrow when I go, there is a special entrance where I can get in free for the service.
It is now time to cast the look forward to the trip home and all the schoolwork and everything else waiting for me there. In particular, I am supposed to play the harp in a musical production - the first night is in two weeks and I still haven't got all the music. In the next entry, you can expect to read about my post-England feelings, a highlights/lowlights list of the trip and, of course, well, an exclusive... whatever.
Bye!
