The V&A East Storehouse officially opens to the public this weekend. Kevin and I were given a private tour of the facility on Thursday by our son Brendan.

Vivienne Chow from Artnet News has written an excellent article about this amazing space and one press release said that ´the museum is the exhibit’ . https://news.artnet.com/art-world/inside-va-east-storehouse-2651021?amp=1

One place where you can actually pull up a seat is here where you can recline back and enjoy this wooden Spanish fresco from the 15th century.

Here are a few more seats to enjoy.

If you live in London or are planning a trip to this great city, the V&A East Storehouse is a must see.

I took a very long walk through High Park today and logged over 10 000 just this morning. I was very glad for a place to sit, especially after climbing the hill up from the zoo.

Pull Up a Seat Challenge – A Seat Without a View

Part of our local park has been fenced off for a restoration of the shoreline. A fence is one thing but they’ve also put a fabric covering along the fence so you can’t see the lake or what’s going on on the other side when you’re sitting down.

Many of these benches at the High Park Zoo are facing empty pens that are also going through renovations.

Pull Up a Seat at the Inn

This week the seats I have chosen all come Montgomery’s Inn in Toronto. It is a historical museum where I work every week making bread that is baked in the outdoor wood burning oven and then sold at the Farmers’ Market every Wednesday.
