Up to London today to meet up with a friend who is down south for the summer. Started off with a wander through Hyde Park where we were entertained by vehicles about to head off on the Mongol Rally . Then into Kensington Palace where we saw The Last Debutantes exhibition. It gave a facinating insight to the life of the debs and the thoughts of those who were part of the last season to be presented, in 1958. There was a talking heads type DVD presentation which was facinating as part of the exhibition. Then we went around the rest of the part of the palace which is open to the public. The combination of beautiful frocks ,(including some of Diana's), and ornate beds combined to turn it into a wonderful experience where it is more than possible to escape into a fairytale fantasy world for a while - something the gift shop was more than equipped to cash in on.
