Week 5 of retirement, and this week’s “culture” day had a rock’n roll theme to it. First off was a visit to 25 Brook Street, and the 3rd floor flat that was occupied by Jimi Hendrix when he located to London – and now houses a museum to commemorate his short life and achievements.
The next stop was the “Vault” beneath the Hard Rock Cafe, where a number of interesting rock’ artefacts are exhibited.
All in all, a good couple of hours out
