Pull Up a Seat on a Rainy Day

On our recent trip to London, we would often walk along Church Street, close to our Airbnb. On our last day we experienced our first rainfall in two weeks. I call that a win when visiting London, England. It didn’t, however, stop us from going for a walk.

Pull Up a Seat at the V&A East Storehouse

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.

Pull Up a Seat – More Benches at High Park

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 at the Quilting Show – March 29, 2025

It was a little too chilly to be sitting here today but it would have been nice to take a load off after seeing the Quilt Show here. While I’m here I’ll also share a few photos of some of the amazing quilts that were on display.
