Jewish museum and Paddy Russill

Painting by Samuel Bak which in "Cross purposes" but resonated with the holocaust exhibition at the Jewish museum.
Met Ros and Richard from Cantemus on train to London Bridge. To the new Jewish museum in Camden Town with interfaith group - 9 of us. We were joined by Robin who used to work at Ealing libraries and is very like me! Beautiful exhibition including items from the Vatican. The museum itself is fascinating with an excellent synagogue and customs section and friendly volunteers. Had lunch of humus and roasted peppers. Edwina Currie was also lunching with Mrs Sher from Nightingale House reading group in Balham so introduced myself. Took group into Our Lady of Hal in Camden Town and bus 31 to Ben Uri gallery to see excellent exhibition "Cross purposes" - modern interpretations of the crucifixion. Plenty of food for thought. Golden crucifixion had hope. Some were very pertinent to today's world. Tea at local restaurant and everyone enjoyed the day. Bus and overground to Acton to see Ciarán who is teething. Liz was there too. Bus and tube from Hammersmith to cathedral for Paddy Russill's excellent recital of Bach, Vierne and Tournemire. Adrian suggested a pint at the Cardinal which I had never entered despite parking outside it numerous times. Carl Jackson and David there and saw Paddy and Fr Aidan. Trains up the creek so to East Croydon and Liz picked us up.
