Waiting:  I  am all packed and just waiting until its time to head down to the tube. It's an hour tube ride to Heathrow. I hope to get pictures this time if the roof tops as we pass thru town.    

I don't think I mentioned we went to Billy Elliot at the Palace Theatre. What an amazing place.  You can just imagine the Royals sitting up in the boxes watch the latest production. The detail in the decor is stunning. Deep rich reds with gold trims and the heavy rich red velvet curtains. Just sitting there I felt taken back in time.

The show was  wonderful. I had not known the story before.  I would love to learn more about that time in history.  The young man who played Billy was so talented in song dance and acting.  It brought tears to eyes , no actually the tears fell.  And as you all know that is not like me. But I wax very moved.    What a wonderful night that was.
