We preceded a visit to the theatre in London on Wednesday with a look round the Portrait Gallery. It has undergone a lot of renovation work in recent years and now has special blinds that protect the artworks from damage by the sun but also create some fascinating silhouettes. A brief walk to our lunch stop at Ham Yard and then to the Harold Pinter theatre to see The Years - a wonderfully produced and acted play but not for the faint-hearted in places.
