We walked Ellie and then took her to Lou and Rhys’s , so they could look after her while we travelled to London. This was made a little more difficult by Victoria closed for engineering works!
We had lunch out first at Thai Pot. I love Thai food and they are always so polite and obliging. It was very good food too.
From there we went to the Arts Theatre, a theatre we have never been to before. It’s a very cosy theatre and so good for the immersive show “Choir of Man”. We had tickets previously but gave them away as it was the day that Ellie had her operation. Lou and Rhys bought these tickets for us for Christmas and they were the best tickets in the theatre, centre front row of the circle.
Wow, what a show! Maybe because I was brought up in a pub is struck a chord but it really was immersive and so uplifting. They were handing out free beer, throwing packets of crisps into the audience and beer mats. On the reverse of the beer mats was a notice about CALM , who they support. (Suicide prevention)
London was packed, obviously lots for the Christmas lights. We had a wander around China Town and then caught the train back to Faversham and had a cup of tea at Rhys’s and some of Josie’s birthday cake.
The show is finishing early January. It is sold out until the end of the run but they are then touring. So, as soon as we were home, we booked for July in Canterbury!
