Throwing caution to the wind!

What the heck! You only live once!

The last 3 days have been a whirlwind of total extravagance and enjoyment and it aint done yet!

Monday - we went to see 'The Sound of Music' in the West End.

Tuesday we spent the day at the seaside. Fantastic, despite the wind which some brave kite and wind surfers clearly enjoyed.

The evening was spent eating pizza and relaxing at home.

Today, we decided to go really mad and be a London tourist for the day! A hasty few searches and bookings online this morning and the day panned out as follows:

Firstly, a, (highly recommended,) trip on the London Eye.

An almost perfect day weatherwise with fairly blue skies and a few fluffy clouds. Very good visability for miles and miles.

After that, we decided to go to visit the Tower Of London!

Fascinating and a good experience but I struggle with historic places which have become way too over commercialised and have re-built 'what they think things were like' in modern day reconstructions. I like authentic and being able to use my imagination and found the Tower very lacking here. There seemed to be a totally disproportionate number of shops!!

Anyway - the evening saw us enjoying a Nandos meal before arriving at Victoria Palace to take in Billy Elliot.

We are now exploring the possibility of either Joseph or Mamma Mia tomorrow evening as we're on a roll, (after I've done some shopping in the morning)!!

Going home? Right now - never!

I guess I'll return some time by or over the weekend so that I can spend next week back in sch.....

It's times like this, I miss London so much now I'm in the Midlands. It's fantastic to be able to 'on a whim' book a show and pop into town to see it, pop down the road to an excellent restaurant of any cuisine one chooses or select from the endless range of options to be entertained for an evening.

Anyway, it's now almost 1.00am so I guess I need to go to bed and prepare myself for tomorrows excitement!
