We're just back from a visit to the busy capital! Actually it was Colin's swan song re anaesthetic conferences & I just tagged along. I'm not sure when we'll be back in central London so I decided I needed to soak up some culture:
A sample of Georgian, Victorian & Edwardian frills & bows in the V & A (Victoria & Albert) Museum, South Kensington.
The hats were gorgeous.
And of course boys will be boys:

This is really is Stephenson's Rocket. Wiki says: "Stephenson's Rocket was an early steam locomotive of 0-2-2 wheel arrangement, built in 1829 at the Forth Street Works of Robert Stephenson & Co in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
It was built for, and won, the Rainhill Trials held by the Liverpool & Manchester Railway in 1829 to choose the best design to power the railway.
Though the Rocket was not the first steam locomotive, it was the first to bring together several innovations to produce the most advanced locomotive of its day."

Our journey home was delayed by a couple of hours due to snow but it was already snowy in Cumbria
