Spring Day at Southbank and the Tate Modern

I’m absolutely delighting in this lovely weather we are having at the moment. I met Nate, Caro, Gaspar and Cesar (he was sleeping most of it) for brunch at Giraffe at Southbank before taking a long stroll all the way to the Tate Modern to check out Ai Weiwei’s Sunflower Seeds.

Shame the Seeds are now cordoned off from the public (actually it was cordoned off within 48 hours!) It used to be open but too many people were stealing the little Seeds (apparently a single seed sold for £28 on ebay) and I also read somewhere the porcelain replicas were slightly poisonous. It was an impressive sea of seeds to behold!

This is something you also don’t see everyday, one of the London Eye capsules being towed around on the back of a boat!
