Hi everyone, we are all still bracing ourselves for the weather to get worse here in the UK, and this issue may thwart plans for my friend to travel up to London from the country and spend the weekend with me, so we could go to some exhibitions.
There are two at the moment that I would love to see, the first is the Valentino: Master of Couture Expo currently at Somerset House in London running from Thursday, 29th November 2012 - Sunday 3rd March 2013, and as I look at the booking site, there are tickets available for tomorrow - yippee.

The second expo that interests me is the Hollywood Costumes expo at the Victoria and Albert museum.
Sadly all the advance tickets are sold out, and you just have to queue on the day in the hope to buy tickets. The downside of this is that, (a) you many not be able to buy tickets for the day, and (b) if you can buy tickets, your tickets are for a time slot, which could be any time during the day. This means if all the morning tickets have sold out, you would need to find something else to do in the area until your time-slot comes round.
I am waiting for my friend to confirm her plans, but listening to the weather forecasts as I type this, it is unlikely she will come, so I have already told my D Mike he may be required to come the expo with me, thankfully he is a darling and said he was happy to go with me (that's true love) ha ha.
Watch this space and you will know the results.
Catch you later..............
We just can't control the weather - at least you will still get to have a peek at the expo...J
ReplyDeleteJudith I hope we can get there.
DeleteI watched Valentino: The last emperor the other day and I am so envious of you getting to go to the exhibition! Have fun :)
ReplyDeleteSuzy I also have that DVD and it was fascinating. The Expo is on until March so if this weekend doesn't pan out, then we still have time.
DeleteHope your plans work out. Wish some of these displays came to BC but alas they don't.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had any snow lately and the cold weather has backed off too. But it is January I keep telling myself.
Ann the UK comes to a halt when we get snow - we are dreadful.
DeleteHope your friend gets to come and visit with you and go to the expo..but how sweet of your hubby to go..
ReplyDeleteHave fun.
My friend called to say she isn't coming - not a huge problem because Mike will (he is very sweet)
DeleteIf I could I'd hop a plane to come along! I hope your friend gets to come, it sounds like such a good outing.
ReplyDeleteHa ha Carole, I can imagine this being right up your street - lets see if I get to either of them. The Valentino one is on until March, so at least I can wait a bit for that if the weather is too horrible.
DeleteOh what a chance. I'm really envious because if I hadn't returned to Ireland for love I'd still be in London!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get the tickets of your choice
ah, I am sure it was worth it. I'll post all about it if I do get to go.
