At the National Gallery

London’s National Gallery is free and packed with masterpieces. Almost makes me wish I lived or worked nearby. Almost.

5/5. One of the last genuine Trappist beers, this is one of Belgium’s most famous beers. Figgy, dark and subtle.

Who you gonna call?

Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.

I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.

I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.

Shameless self-promotion
