Last London trip of the year...

.... or at least that's the plan.

 

It was another day  where we combined a trip out to Chadwell Heath to see Jonathan {he's finished radiotherapy and is now working on his recovery} and Katharine {Karen out at the gym} -

 

with an afternoon at the theatre -

seeing Martin Freeman in Richard III at Trafalgar Studios.

 

Kathie joined us for this jaunt - spending a quiet morning in the galleries before meeting up at Waterstones {nothing new there}

 

It was an interesting Richard -

very high concept - a real 1970's "Winter of Discontent"

but in the end it had too many ideas

that seemed to be more for dressing than impact on the plot.

 

{we really were spoiled seeing Kevin Spacey in a pretty much perfect production at the Old Vic in 2011}

 

We had tea at Steak & Co -

then wandered over to Covent Garden for a wander around the market

before catching the last train home.

 

And that is that for London 2014

 

{but the tickets are already booked for Hamlet at the Barbican in 2015}
