Eddie and Anne arrived yesterday afternoon to spend a long weekend with us, and go to the opera on Saturday evening. We made a good start by dining out at the Patagonia restaurant at the bottom of King's Road. We walked there and back again in the rain.
Today's persistent rain not only sabotaged the high hopes of a successful first day's play in the Ryder Cup it also prevented up from taking a planned trip out into a less busy part of rural Gwent for a walk and tea. Clare took Eddie and Anne to see the new Impressionist gallery in the national museum. Having known much of the collection since my teens, I decided to defer seeing their new environment for the moment, and went into the tea room to plug a gap in the washing up crew for a couple of hours instead.

I met up with them afterwards in the museum, and then for the first time I was able to take Clare and Anne inside City Hall next door, to view the great public rooms and have a peek at the temporary office where CBS is camping out until we have a permanent base. The girls then went off to shop at John Lewis and I returned home to cook a seafood paella for supper.
