The National Portrait Gallery was our first stop on our last day in London. The exhibition 'David Hockney Portraits' opened a few day ago which is real bonus. Hockney is perhaps my favorite English living artist. His ability to draw with real expression and character is outstanding and seeing over 150 original works from when he was seventeen years old to 2006 confirmed this for me. Julie, Leigh and John, you were constantly in my thoughts - shame!
The last experience in London was a visit to Kensington Palace. Before we looked through the palace we had a delightful lunch in the Orangery in the palace gardens. As well as the Royal apartments there was an exhibition of photographs of Princess Diana alongside a selection of her evening dresses. The large black & white photographs were stunning.
We are off to New York tomorrow (Monday).

Did you see the beautiful sunken gardens at Kensington Palace? I thought they were special.
