The Entertainer

A London day to see The Entertainer - 

the last play in the Kenneth Brannagh season at The Garrick.

 (way back in April 2016) we had no idea where she would be at Uni -

so I'd only booked for two, with the idea that I could add an extra ticket later if need be.

As it turned out it was the start of Sheffield reading week -

 but Megs chose to spend the weekend with her best friend Jamie, before heading home.

The other issue for the day - 

when I'd booked I'd not thought about the Anonymous protests 

that have happened in London every 5th November for the last few years.

I was really concerned that trouble makers would spoil things

(the Garrick is right next to Trafalgar Square)

and I had no desire to be kettled!

But in the end all we saw was a protest march of Librarians -

and we all love Librarians!

So Al and I had a date day -

a lovely walk though Bloomsbury,

a morning at the British Museum

the play in the afternoon

and a walk up the Tottenham Court Road, 

hopping from bookshop to bookshop to coffee shop!
