Today we were off to Liberty of London for some shopping, London style!
I was most fascinated with the outside of the building and soaking it all in.
On the front of the building was this clock, with a very poignant quote underneath it. “No minute gone comes ever back again. Take heed and see ye nothing do in vain.” I really do want to get this painted on canvas! At first I thought just the saying, but I think that it needs the clock too!
As I continued around the building, I discovered the floral department!
Look at these fabulous roses!
and more!
Look at the fabulous flowers at Fenwick’s in honor of the Chelsea Flower Show!
time for shopping now!
and then a cuppa with Elizabeth!
Everyone, did I say everyone came back to the bus with a bag from Liberty!
Now its time for the Bakery Bus tour!
Everything was so delicous! and of course there were scones with clotted cream.
so good!
There was no narration on the bus, but Jeremy was right there to answer all our questions and talk along the way.
Tomorrow we check out of the hotel we’ve been staying in and travel to Charleston, a quaint artsy home and then onto the Grande Hotel located on The English Channel where we stay for 2 nights… and more stitching! I hear we have a fabulous new canvas waiting for us.
I loved Liberty of London! Wish it were downtown in my hometown! And that Bakery Bus…what a way to travel around London.
I would love, love, love Liberty of London to be here too! My checkbook might not though…
Love the idea of eating baked goods while on the tour bus.
Enjoying your travel highlights. Have visited London three times so far and hope to do so again.
Thank you Brenda. I hope to go back again someday soon!
Just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying experiencing your trip to England vicariously. Can’t wait to see your next canvas.
Thank you! I need to find time to get back to it too!
I cannot tell you howI green wi h envy I am. This trip is almost as good as meeting the Queen!! BTW, recently saw a wonderful documentary about Liberty House on Acorn TV. Those people are hard workers! Thanks for the tour. I want to see it all!
ooh wish I had seen that!
Sign up for AcornTV.com. First month free. I think they are still showing it. Liberty of London. It is two seasons with 5 or 6 shows in each year.
No time right now! I will though…thanks!
I’d totally buy a canvas with that saying on it
well lets see who I find to do it…
Thanks so much for continuing the tour. It’s been so many years since I was in London and it was late fall. I’m thinking about going back in summer. My favorite shop was Liberty, but I’m also a quilter so wanted to see their fabrics. Glad to see you also did some stitching!!
I loved Liberty!
I vote for the clock and saying on a canvas. I always go to Liberty when in London and yes I come out with several bags.
Great shopping @ Liberty!
What a wonderful trip! Your photos are outstanding. I love that saying and the clock, too.
I look forward to going back!
