Back! just.... lol...sorry to all I might have met up with...but next time I will plan in advance and make sure of a meeting :))

MAZ!!!! I can't believe we were both at Joseph LOL... SO enjoyed it, want to go again before too long... (where were you sitting? if you tell me row H I shall shoot myself ;) )

Rose lol we were up in the God's. Upper circle row C. Still had a good view tho! It was really great wasn't it?! Kids loved it and keep watching it on video ever since. We ate in Garfunkel's beforehand - you were probably in there too !!

lol Maz , nope wasn't in Garfunkels...Maccie Ds ;)

I was really lucky to get the seats in the stalls, went in the box office the day before doubting I would get anything! ...'Oliver' & 'Les Mis' were both sold out (Olliver was sold out till May! ) next time I will book way ahead lol

I quite like London too :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Rose.... you must cross the Thames from St Pauls or Tate Modern side and stand in the middle looking up and down the river. Best view in the world.

Hello Jean :) It is a wonderful river..when we went on the Clippers (several times :) , particularly beautiful one evening just as the sun was setting and the light hit the river and houses of Parliament ) I thought about my gt grandfather and his before him going up and down it on their barges ..I've always felt a great affinity with the river even before I knew my ancestors worked on it.

View from the London Eye was amazing too, in fact I loved everything we did, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square...all the little back alleys and the mix of old and new architecture...just a wonderful city :)))))

LOL Mac! no trouble understanding that at all :)

I was hoping to get out to Chiswick and have a nose about, but didn't manage it...did get to the Guildhall Library though! had a quick look through the apprentice records and general Lightermen/Watermen records , fascinating ( eek first time I had used a microfiche viewer! ) will have to go back when I have more time .
