Vacarious Pleasure

 Today it’s back to normal 

Sat at the kitchen table 

Planning and writing my last counselling essay…

My trip to London with my sister Janet is now in its fifth year 

We have seen two Royal Ballets, three musicals and have eaten well all over London 

A tradition which needs continuing

Janet  loves London and so do I 

I also love the fact she gains so much pleasure from the effort of going.

On Friday night, I suggested we walked from Covent Garden up the Strand towards Piccadilly. 

On the way we entered Trafalger Square

She had never been 

And her joy was palpable ,

At Piccadilly she photographed the diving sculptures from a nearby building I had never noticed 

Ok we had a fraught moment in the Opera House where she couldn’t switch off her mobile phone

But the incident made us chuckle long and hard on the way home , on the train journey from hell.

And her photo of Eros at dusk was sublime 

There is a VE celebration tea in the Hall this afternoon, I saw the bunting around chapel street this morning
