Wow, summer went by so fast. Autumn is definitely in the air in London. This summer was exceptionally hot and beautiful, but there are plenty of creative ways to cool off!

At the beautiful Victoria & Albert Museum you can enjoy the coolness of the courtyard with tea and strawberries & cream while you watch the adventurous amongst us ditch the clothes for some splashing around!

This is just the greatest place, everywhere you look there is beauty…even the cafeteria!

September brings a rush of art fairs and exhibits like the retrospective on the life of writer Virginia Woolf at the National Portrait Gallery. We couldn’t miss this opportunity and it was fascinating…and rather sad.

One of the coolest things about London is that even when you just have a bunch of errands to do you can head to someplace like Piccadilly to accomplish all. Certainly takes the boring out of errand day! We spend hours (with apologies to our feet) meandering through side streets and shopping arcades. Then happily land in an oasis of calm like St. James Square right in the middle of the mad-mix.

September always brings a sense of ‘newness’. Must be the many years of anticipating a new pencil box for school! Well we are busy here designing new classes and courses which will be available shortly online to all of you. (Watch for announcements.) Planning workshops we are being invited to give and in- between it all still dashing off to the seaside days out and of course…art fairs! Another invitation just arrived.

Enjoy your September!
