We took Ellie for a walk and it was a very cold wind. Mal bought tickets for Les Miserables as part of my Christmas present as it is my favourite show. I have already seen it 7 times but Mal has never seen it. So today was the day for a trip to London. We dropped Ellie off at Rhys’s and he taxi-ed us to the station and we caught the train. We spent the morning wandering around the shops, had a bite of lunch and then went to the matinee performance.  We also had a wander around Carnaby Street – that took me back too many years when I used to go to London every weekend. We also meandered through China Town.

Whilst the show in my opinion was still excellent, I have to say no one can play Jean Valjean as well as Alfie Boe. Thankfully Mal enjoyed it too. What a beautiful chandelier they had in the theatre.


We had every intention to find somewhere to eat in London but it really was heaving everywhere when we came out of the theatre and so decided to grab a snack and come home. We were home much earlier than intended and Rhys bless him collected us from the station and took us to his home to collect Ellie. We normally wander around and find a really nice eatery but it was just so busy everywhere. As Rhys said, people are given theatre tickets for Christmas and that’s why the shows are so busy in January.

London becomes less and less attractive!
