A day trip into London. Sunny autumn day, fabulous lunch in Opera Restaurant, Drury Lane, Covent garden, theatre.
Lunch.
Parma ham carved off the bone, grilled pumpkin, olives, aubergine and scrummy bread. Calamaris and courgette tempura. Then we had Gnocchi with chicken and veg and Papperdelle with Italian sausage. Bottle of Montepulciano - no puds .
Drink.
Then we went to the crusting pipe as someone who will remain anonymous got the time of the theatre wrong. (Well I would say if it had been Ian)
Theatre.
Woman In black - Fortune theatre London.
What a perfect theatre and venue for this play. We have been meaning to see the play for more than 20 years. Debbie Orrell told me I should go & see it when we were working in Smith house. Well Debbie , I have been.
It was really good. Despite wanting to doze off, combination of age & Montepulciano, We were on our toes. There were many moments that made you jump out of your skin. A young lad of about 12 was so scared at one stage, his beaker of sweets was thrown over his head as he hid behind the seat in front of him. Hilarious.
Came home watched The Exotic Marigold hotel with a cup of tea and went to bed. 10/10 for everything.
