The weekend started with culture....
On Saturday I met up with C (one of my best gals who I went travelling with) at the Natural History Museum where we went to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit. It was the last weekend the exhibit was on, so as you would expect it was sold out and busy. But definitely worth the hustle and bustle for the amazing photographs I got to witness.
Although the exhibit is titled with photographer, it is made up of numerous photographers all of which have been recognised, plus the winners. Amazingly there is a section which has photographs taken by 10 years or younger and another 10 - 14 years old. It is unbelievable what they have managed to capture.
The fact that the whole exhibit is engulfed in black highlights all the photographs and lets you concentrate and see all the colour and details.
I would say it is a must to go see, unfortunately it has ended now. But they put this exhibit on every year, so put it in your diary for next year. You will not be disappointed. Even if you are not into art or photography, this exhibit will amaze and drag you in.
After our cultural part of the day we needed lunch. We had heard about a great cafe nearby that we wanted to explore. It is called Muriel's Kitchen
Its a quaint little place. Walk in only, but usually seated within 10 - 15 mins. Whilst you wait you can salivate over the counter of food on display which is the options for lunch and baked goods.
The food was delicious, I went for salmon where as C went for the salad plate option which meant she could pick a selection of dishes. A lot of their dishes are rich in spice and flavour, a place for healthy and tastey food. Safe to say this one is noted down for a place to go for lunch. They have 3 located around London, we went to the Kensington one but there is also Leicester Sq and Soho. Muriel's Kitchen
Part 2 tomorrow with the rest of my escapades I got up to at the weekend.
