I am on my way to London to fulfill one of my new year's resolutions. The Mrs and me missed out on the Hockney show and will probably go and see it in Copenhagen in the autumn where the crowds will be smaller. Today I am off to see the Lucien Freud retrospective on me todd and am very much looking forward to it. I am not usually up so early and it is really nice to see the beautiful English countryside in the early light. The train from Plymouth passes so many idyllic scenes that it is almost as if one is travelling through a history of British landscape painting.
