Well I'm now in that brief break between sessions, which means I'm shortly off to the UK to do the whirlwind shoe tour.
So far, the tour schedule looks roughly like this:
Thursday 28th June - Depart Australia
Friday - Land in London
Saturday - Train up to York.
Sunday and Monday - York - Hang with best friend, do Jorvik centre, York Museums, whatever else takes our fancy
Tuesday and Wednesday - Hadrian's Wall, Vindolanda, Roman Army Museum
Thursday - York - Hopefully side trip to Royal Armouries in Leeds
Friday - Train to London - Portobello Road and mundane shopping
Saturday and Sunday - London - V&A Museum, Museum of London, British Museum, Wallace Collection
Monday - London - SCA shopping at the list of places courtesy of Duchess D. Depart for Australia Monday evening
Wednesday 11th July - Arrive back in Australia.
Why York? Well, my best friend lives in York and the main purpose of this trip is to see her. However, any excuse is a good excuse to get in some shoe research (and other things of course).
We've emailed a number of places and will hopefully get an appointment to view the collections up close.We will, of course, take oodles of photos, with measuring tapes to show scale etc..
