11th December 2021

Only 2 shopping Saturdays until Christmas! We are off to London today, and it has been so good to get out of Woking and see the sights. We're back in the National Gallery today as well, which has an exhibition of Dürer and his travels. Adam has loved the National ever since the Sainsbury Wing opened with the Renaissance paintings, also winding Prince Charles up with its architecture. But his favourite room is the Octagon, with paintings by Claude and the Turner Bequest. It was used in the Second World War for lunchtime concerts, famously attended by the Queen Mother, with piano playing by Dame Myra Hess, who is commemorated on a plaque.
