Terracotta Warriors

Working from home today and in the afternoon packed up the car. Picked up George at 4:30 and then mad dash to London to meet Vivienne at British museum to see the Terracotta Warriors. Fantastic exhibition with lots of info on the history and how they were found. There were about 10 figures on display in London, out of about 1000 that have been excavated. There is estimated another 5000 still to be uncovered. They date from Qin dynasty (220BC) and were only discovered in 1974. The individualism and attention to detail on the faces was truly remarkable.

Dinner at Gourmet Hamburger Kitchen place in Putney (again) and then on to Vivienne's for the night
