I am definetely a London lover.
Twenty two years ago I arrived in London for the first time, on the last day of spring. A gorgeous blue day, like
in my native Salvador city. I don’t think I will ever forget the arrival, the
airplane following the Thames towards Heathrow, and the city down there,
gorgeous.
But
it was not love at first sight. It took me some time to fall in love. Once in
love, well, for ever in love.
This time on the last spring night, we arrived in London again. This recent coming back had a special flavour, because our lovely daughter came
with us.
For
many reasons, I took few pictures this time. So much to do, so little time.
One of the many things I did this time was visiting Tent London. Hope I find
the time to do a post on it. Meanwhile, you can read some great impressions from my fellow surface pattern designer friend Mel Smith.
One
week later we left London missing it. Hope we go there again. Pretty soon.
Here you can see some quick visual impressions. Hope you enjoy this very personal sightseeing.

DeleteThank you, Mel. The mention was more than deserved. I originally intended to go to Tent, but got sick and stayed in the hotel room a whole day. After seeing your post, I went to Boots, bought some medicine and an umbrela and there I went...
