WhoFic: Taking Care

[lolmac]

After so many months with so little inspiration, I woke up the morning after watching the Doctor Who 50th anniversary episode with two shiny new plot bunnies!  One of them hopped away without much to show for it, but this one stayed for tea.

Taking CareThe place really did need more opportunities for people to sit down. Art galleries never had

Aw, that's lovely! Well done!

Thank you!

Extra points if you can identify why the gallery that holds the nonexistent artworks is called the Pennethorne. *g*

Oh, I'm sorry - I have no brain, and I really don't know! You'll have to tell me. ;-)

*g* I did a bit of research on the history of the National Gallery, and I was enchanted to find out how much change it's undergone since it was founded, both additions and removals. There was once a gallery called the Pennethorne, but it was demolished over a century ago.

Back when I was writing Aftershocks, I did a massive amount of research into lost artworks, and became very aware of how much has been so easily destroyed . . . so the idea of a lost gallery that would hold all that lost art seemd to fit especially well! Naturally, it wouldn't just be European art, either . . .

Oh, that is cool - thank you for explaining! (And, no, I had no idea - I don't really know very much about the National Gallery, though I went there once, I think.)
