I see. (Buck house refers to Buckingham Palace.)
Probably the tastiest urinal cake out there, but I’m not going to test the theory.

And, conclusively, all the portraits of her I have seen in literally 5 minutes of googling her ears are covered. /S

Landscape photography as painting (and Welsh translation).
I was surprised at the huge numbers of people at a Holbein exhibit in Toronto about 30 years ago; I had no idea that many people knew who he was. It was pretty much impossible to get close to the paintings and drawings, many of which are quite small.

Nah. I’d feel like she’s judging me.
If you are ever in Oxford, I strongly recommend a visit to the Ashmolean Museum; a gem. They have weird and wonderful little collections, like a collection of Japanese sword furniture (as it’s called) made by one family over the course of a thousand years, so you can see the gradual changes in style, fashion and technique. And it won’t be as crowded as better known museums.

The Ashmolean Museum tumblr is still a glorious place to browse despite being inactive. I would love visiting IRL!
In one of those “small world” incidents, I was on the transit telling a coworker, who was visiting Oxford, that she go swing into the Ashmolean, and the person sitting in front of us turned around and said “They recently had a major renovation, and it’s even better now!” Maybe the Ashmolean gets more traffic than I realised.
I’ll check out the tumblr; thanks!
I’ve been hip to the Ashmolean since childhood. Books about Ancient Egypt and other stuff I’ve read mentioned its multitudinous goodies.
