After class today, I headed over to the Wallace Collection's tea room with Hayley and two of our friends to try an afternoon tea. It was a cute area, with delicious pastries!

Spoiler alert: it turns out, I'm not a chamomile tea person. I tried it to make my writing authentic, because I have a character in my book who drinks chamomile tea, but I think I'm going to have to change their drink of choice.

I had Monday night free, and I'd been hoping to see an authentic Shakespeare show at the reconstruction of Shakespeare's Globe, so Hayley and I decided to go see Shakespeare's Henry VIII. I bought a seat in the upper tier. No photography was permitted during the show, so I wasn't able to get any pictures of the performance.

It was... different. I mean, I was glad to see it and the actors did a good job, but they added musical numbers and bawdy props that altered the original script. I was hoping to see a word-for-word Shakespeare play, but the actors did good and at least I got to experience the Globe how it would've been!
