This weekend started on the Thursday
night with a folk-opera show called The Transports at the Cecil Sharp House. We
saw this with Terry and Gill and were very inspired and moved with the story
based on the true events surrounding the transportation of convicts to
Australia.
Next morning we started with cocktails at the new Design Museum at Holland Park. It is a fabulous building of great
architectural merit and the displays were very interesting and thought
provoking. Afterwards we walked through the park and spent a little time at the
Japanese gardens which were very peaceful.
We travelled to Soho to meet up with Jamie
for lunch and a drink and spent an enjoyable few hours in his company.
That evening we saw the strangest puppet
show every at Wilton’s Music Hall. It was called The Depraved Appetite ofTarrare the Freak, and freaky it was too. I loved it! After that we ended up at
the Blues Kitchen where we were some of the oldest people there. It was a good
evening.
Breakfast the next morning was back in Soho
and refuelled we walked through Chinatown (picking up a couple of steamed buns
on the way) and headed back home.
That evening was a more relaxed affair
as we collapsed in front of the television and eat fish and chips from the
local van.
