I went to the Tate Gallery recently and struggled to actually find any paintings. It was all learning paces aimed at schoolchildren. Why do we pander to these horrid little creatures? You probably did well getting out of Legoland at the end. I have been there and it has taken two hours to get out of the car park.legatus hedliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078980742683576345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988875042394716329.post-55816679576731480102017-04-18T10:49:13.624+01:002017-04-18T10:49:13.624+01:00While trolling for an image to use I got the impre...While trolling for an image to use I got the impression it was much better before the refurbishment, I thought I never saw that, or that, or that.
