A very cold day

and a perfect opening for my blog. We always start talking about the weather first here in London.

But doesn't this guy look cosy and warm?
Images of Nature is a new permanent gallery at the old Lady that is the National History Museum, showcasing the Museum's famous collection of natural history artwork.
The gallery includes a temporary display of Chinese Watercolours from the John Reeves collection and work from a contemporary Shanghai artist in residence.

Aren't they beautiful? I could just imagine a few of these on our wall. Failing that you can always go and visit, the Museum is now also open for After Hours until 22.30 every last Friday of every month (sadly tickets for today are already sold out) or put the book (by Judith Magee) on your coffee table and enjoy it whenever you fancy.
