The bulk of planning is complete, now it’s tweaking last-minute additions. Instead of far and wide, I’m going deep and focused, staying true to my love of art and history.
Most days have a booked entry ticket for one venue in the morning that could stretch until the museum closes or I could take the afternoon in a different direction. The V&A just announced the end of timed tickets April 5th. I expect the other major museums to follow suit. I’m glad for this, as it lets me off that particular leash – If I am feeling the National more than the V&A I can swap them around.
I know I can’t fit it all in, but with my strong itinerary in place I’ll be able to explore enticing byways whenever time and energy permit. I have a side list of places I’d like to include and will see how each day goes.
I just learned today about opportunities to go Mudlarking, an exploration of the Thames at low tide that’s sponsored by the National Trust. I wish!
