Out and About in London…

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
