A Cultural Morning

After some serious shopping days we decided a gallery visit was in order. Off we went to the Bridgestone Museum. None of us realised that this was a Japanese Company - we all thought it was American. The founder was a collector of French Impressionists.

Wonderful collection
We saw many pieces that we had never seen before.

After the Impressionists gallery we saw the permanent exhibition. Some lovely Egyptian and Greek pieces.

There was a delightful cafe called the Georgette Tea Room. We couldn't resist - of course.
Beautiful presentation
We just had to have tea and scones. Ron and I had the potato scone - it came with a spoon of the most delicate potato salad.

The waiter also gave me an origami rose.
Beautiful
