Playing Hookie...shhh!

I played hookie today and hopped a train into London.
 I had enough of house and home.
First stop was the National Portrait Gallery.
 I have been dying to see the Irving Penn exhibit. 
Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn

Woody Allen playing Charlie Chaplin

Marlene Dietrich

Spencer Tracey...Fab!
It was wonderful!
Read my comments @ Finding My Way 

Second stop Fortnum and Mason's to check out the 
window displays for Mother's Day on March 14th!
Love the pink...

Shaken not stirred... 

Bubbly, of course!

Sweets for the sweet!

All the things to make Mom's day...lovely!

From there, I lingered in a cafe, took my sweet time... 
browsing in a few bookshops,  a wander here, a browse there...
and I was off again. 
I feel recharged and ready to go.
Home Sweet Home!
(Shh...Mum's the word!)
