Had a great few days down in London - coldest I've ever known it down there, even for December. We stayed on The Strand, right by Covent Garden, and I love the atmosphere there - if that can't get you in the Christmas mood I don't know what can! Did some shopping and repeated a few of the 'touristy' things, including a Jack the Ripper guided tour. Not much of the old East End left, of course, so the images of Whitechapel shrouded in fog just had to be imagined. Interesting, though.
Took in 'Wicked', a show that's had rave reviews and I can understand why - the two women leads were absolutely top class and it was a brilliant performance overall.
As always the London trip came to an end too quickly - time seems to take on a different dimension down there, the pace of life is so frantic - but I'll be back again soon. As Dr Johnson said: "The man who grows tired of London has grown tired of life". Or it might have been Derek Johnstone!
Back to the real world, then, and it's off to Easter Road now ...
