We bought rail tickets for two more journeys and then it was off to Camden Town to do a little shopping, and for Sue to get an appointment for a haircut.  I was looking for a shoulder bag to carry around our two umbrellas.  The weather has been what I think is pretty typical for London, i.e. “a chance of showers”. 

After stopping for a cup of coffee we walked home to scout out more Blue Plaques.  We found several along the way.  This time there is one guy we’ve heard of, Dylan Thomas.  I don’t know that I read any of his poems.  If I read any in high school I have long since forgotten the poems, and high school.  George Macdonald turned into one of my favorites when I read his citation in our book.  You’ll see from the photos that I found a bag that George would have liked.  Tomorrow we are off to see three paintings on our list in Southampton and Bournemouth and then home.  We might venture out to Oxford over the weekend where there are 10 paintings at the Ashmolean Museum.  Unfortunately the museum doesn’t list what is on display, all they would tell me is that “many should” be on display.  I hope many means 9 and not 4!
