HMS Victory at Trafalgar Square
Sun shining, I headed over to picnic in the unlikely spot of Trafalgar Square, to catch a glimpse of the bottled up HMS Victory, recently docked on the fourth plinth. Gazing up at the model, I had a somewhat Alice in Wonderland moment, my surroundings had grown upon me as I dubiously wondered what was in my water! Mesmerised and moving closer, I noted the richly patterned African textiles the Anglo-Nigerian artist, Yinka Shonibare has used as sails. Nelson and his vessel are reunited!
