To Australia Before Breakfast
The Royal Academy had a special show of their Australia exhibition for Friends from 08:30 to 10:00 this morning.
As my boiler is in the process of being changed and my house was extremely cold, I decided to go and took a 38 bus through the rain.
The exhibition was well worth a visit and for me, the paintings of the desert, brought back happy memories of an amazing holiday some years back, where I hired a light aircraft and flew us both round a lot of Eastern Australia.
But as there were few visitors, at that time in the morning, it was almost like your own private view.
This should be done more often.
Imagine being able to walk round an important gallery like that showing the Turners at the Tate Britain by yourself.
I don’t need to imagine, as I did that last night.
Sounds good!

Why not open galleries early one morning in the week, so that people can really appreciate the art?
Many of us are early risers and that doesn’t stop, when we visit another city.
