Right before travel was shut down to slow down the spread of the Corona virus, I went on a weekendtrip to London I had planned months before. I had a ticket to a play on Saturday and on Sunday I was going to meet up with friends at the British Museum, that I'd never been to. Unfortunately my friends had to cancel last minute, so I visited the museum by myself, specifically to find the Lewis Chessmen, a medieval chess set that was the inspiration for the Wizard chess in the Harry Potter films:)
But before that I spent a day strolling around and doing some (grocery!) shopping and of course I'm once again sharing photos of the traveling process *grins*

Last friday my mom and I visited a Paper Art exhibit in the CODA museum in Apeldoorn. This town is a 50 minute trainride away from our hometown Z. The museum is a 15 minute walk from the station, but we took a little longer because we got distracted by the cute shops along the way;) We spent exactly(!) two hours in the museum and I made over a hundred photos (this is a selection). It was inspirational to see in how many different ways all those artists used paper. Not that I'm even close to this level of awesome*:
