Lowry at Tate Britain

 The wonderful main entrance is closed off but they've provided several benches so I was able to sit in the sun while waiting to meet my old friend VJ.

 We took time to have tea (delicious loose leaf) and cake in the outside cafe and catch up.

 Inside I find that I am drawn to the more domestic scenes of his work. Entitled 'Flowers in the Window' the simple symmetry of this one caught my attention.

 'Street Hawker' shows a surprising amount of colour and the figures are more formed and bulky than in the images usually associated with Lowry. I love it.

'VE Day' shows the busy urban scene populated with the 'stick' people made famous by the song Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs by Brian and Michael.
