London: Falkland House, V&A, De Hems

Yesterday it rained, though lightly. I walked huge distances, first from Clerkenwell to Soho. I bought coffee at Monmouth Coffee Company and returned to Nordic Bakery for some open-faced sandwiches and a cinnamon bun. Then I made my way over to Falkland House, the islands' government and information center in London. Such a friendly place! I left with a few kilos of materials and a newly enthusiastic desire to find a way to visit.

Then I took the Tube to the V&A and wandered around before meeting Ann. We walked through the rain all the way to the Dutch pub De Hems, which is on the edge of Chinatown. There we drank beer and nibbled on a kaasplank and caught up.

It feels as though I should have started this post with a "Dear Diary."

In any case, I'm off to Bethnal Green now, and will shoot up to Hampstead Heath afterwards. Updates to follow.
