Flying Visit To London

 
Twins waiting for the train ! Me with my Roger Moore eyebrow
You can tell I’m almost blind in one eye👀

 I tend to buy my twin sister a Christmas gift which centres around a trip to London ... We go to a show , together, have a nice meal ( she does some shopping) and we stay in a nice West End hotel. 
Bish bash Bosh.
Covent Garden ideal hotel 




Lovely ballet 


The restaurant  Sarastro perched at the top of Drury Lane was an odd affair, decked out in old opera boxes, the place is well known for its tarts boudoir decor and its porn murals in the toilets ! Janet was so impressed with the filth on the walls she forgot to flush ! 

Filthy buggers


I was telling my German friend how therapeutic these mini jaunts are 
They remind me there’s a world bigger than Trelawnyd and busier than Wales

    Gosh John I wish you were my brother, just to spend some time with a sibling would be soulful, lost my younger brother when he was twenty nine years old, other brother not worth discussing and my sister is now terminally ill, feel lonely for the losses but am still here strong enough to tell the tale.

  7. Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! Three lovely experiences, and shared with love. You're a great brother to have. And then, home to a loving warm cottage, with animals who are pleased to have you back, and a garden full of spring promise. Bliss.

    How lovely. The Z Covent Garden hotel next to the actors church. I was there several years ago, and hope to be there again soon. I like what you wrote about how therapeutic mini jaunts are. Jean in Winnipeg.
