Any advice? I get to tag along with my hubby on a trip to London in

Could you manage a day trip to Bath? The costume museum there is excellent.

Should you happen to decide to stop at the Natural History Museum, pay
attention to the ornamentation on the pillars inside and out... there
are some beautiful designs derived from plants.
