Imagine.
You are in London, UK. It is half past five on a Tuesday afternoon. It is the middle of November, thus therefore dark except for the orange glow provided by the thousands of lights across the city. The frigid rain splashes lightly around you. You are running. Whilst listening and singing along to Black Veil Brides. Sound familiar?
Probably not, actually. Unless, that is, you are me. That is what I did this afternoon after my school's art visit to The National Gallery and the V&A Museum. It was quite funny, actually.
My friends and I also got mobbed by pidgeons in Trafalgar Square whilst eating our lunch. The video shows the extent of this. We also watched pidgeons swarm around some malteasers that my friend Lucy dropped. I also caught that on video, but I'm saving that for when times are slow.
In terms of the actual artwork, The National Gallery was good, but we spent ages wandering round trying to find relevent pieces of artwork for our projects - quite a task when looking for paintings relating to Music and Rainforests. As far as the V&A is concerned, I got lost. I swear I always end up lost in that place, it's huge. Anyway, the exhibition of costumes, manuscripts and set backdrops from the Ballets Russes was incredibly interesting - I wish I could have spent more time in there. The other exhibition on photograms (camera-less photography), however, held no interest to me at all. We also saw the artwork from Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit (sarcastic remarks from Cameron and me - Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt *Cat rolls eyes*. 'Nuff said).
Also, a word of warning. Any rock fans who try to buy a copy of Rocksound magazine at Fleet service station on the M3, you're out of luck. I searched there - twice - and had no luck. Damnit!
