At last! I finally get around to posting about the London trip! I had an absolutely fabulous time, there were so many highlights that it’s difficult to list them all.

I loved being back in the National Gallery again (especially revisiting Whistlejaket) it’s such a fabulous piece of architecture, to my mind one of the most beautiful buildings in Britain.

Alice in Wonderland by the English National Ballet was utterly enchanting, it was my first experience of ballet and I was enthralled. With the performance being of one of my all time favourite stories and set to music by Tchaikovsky one could hardly go wrong.

We took a flight in the London Eye which I was definitely nervous about, especially when standing underneath the thing. At over 440 feet (135m), it is an enormous piece of engineering and affords magnificent views of the city.

It’s been a couple of decades since I’ve been to a pantomime, but I quickly regressed to childhood in the hands of the cast and crew of “Peter Pan”. Sarah Jane Honeywell gave an incomperable performance as Peter, Henry Winkler was suitably hiss-booable as Cpt. Hook and Bobby Davro knocked himself out to entertain the audience, and had me in stitches on many occassions.
