I went to the re-opening of The Photographers’ Gallery last night which was great. The building looks amazing and the Edward Burtynsky exhibition is really good. Definitely worth going to check out the new space!
Northern Ireland
I had a wonderful weekend in Belfast with my friend Chelsea! We drove up to the North coast and walked along the causeway where we had views of Ireland and Scotland. It was the most spectacular day and a lovely weekend in Northern Ireland.

Rain…Rain…
It’s been raining for a long time so I thought I would share a few images of umbrellas.

British Design
I saw the new exhibition at the V&A, British Design 1948-2012: Innovation in the Modern Age, which was great. The show celebrates the best of British post-war art and design from the 1948 “Austerity Games” to the summer of 2012. Here are a few of my favourite pieces.
Jaguar E-Type Series 1 by Malcom Sayer, 1961
Alexander McQueen, 2009

Long Weekend
I have had a wonderful long weekend in London! I started off by seeing Titanic in IMAX and 3D which was amazing! Then I saw the Yayoi Kusama and Damien Hirst shows at Tate Modern, followed by a great dinner at my favourite Soho restaurant, Polpo. I then went out into the countryside with some friends for a delicious pub lunch at The Royal Oak and a walk at Cliveden House in Berkshire. A great way to spend the Easter/Passover weekend.

Margate
I went on another adventure this weekend to a seaside town called Margate. I saw a wonderful little show, Turner and the Elements, at the Turner Contemporary, and explored this extremely bizarre shell grotto. It was certainly a nice sunny day out, but not the most beautiful town in southern England!
Winchester
I went to Winchester Cathedral over the weekend, which is the longest Gothic cathedral in Europe! It was built in 1079 and is the burial site of Jane Austen. If you are ever in the area, it’s worth a visit.
