Ahhh…nice not have to get up to the beeping of the monster
that lives on the bedside table. Yes, you know what I mean...I expect there’s a
cousin of this beastie on most bedsides everywhere.
On the way home yesterday I read about an
exhibition of unique gold and silver jewellery which sounded well worth a visit So this early this afternoon we hopped
on to our regular weekday train and got off at the stop for Goldsmiths College.
It took us a while to locate the main entrance
where we asked for the exhibition hall, which was within an old church, very
nice.
And the exhibition itself…well that was a disappointment
because what we had walked into was a modern art installation.
Hang about a minute, we’d come to see an exhibition
of precious metal not papier-mâché masks hg at all sorts of odd angles from a wonky
shelf.
All was not lost because we haven’t visit the area
before so we went for a bit of a walk down the road and an old fire station
that’s ground floor is now a fireplace store. It was the interesting window display
that first caught our eye and made us want to go in and see more.
And we weren’t disappointed; parts of the store
seemed to be like a museum.
What do you think of this?
We continued on thinking we would explore more
until we stopped to cross the road and saw and heard a bit further along a
group of young adults outside a pub. They were jeering and throwing bottles and
spraying alcohol over a bus that was stopped at the red light. The driver’s
window on the bus was shattered.
Needless to say we did an about face and walked
back the way we had come. At the next bust stop we worked out a route back to
Crystal Palace and took that.
And the exhibition we had read about, well that was
at the Goldsmiths Company not Goldsmith
College. Oh well…
