George does London

Thats right, Big George has just spent a good two weeks ripping it up in London. Possibly the only person in this city to not have a winter coat, he bravely improvised with layers of jumpers covered with a yellow raincoat...road worker style.

I have had more culture in those two weeks with George than I will probably have for the rest of the year. My favourite was seeing the Marriage of Figaro (opera) at the Opera House at Covent Garden. Other things we saw were the Mikado at the coliseum (a Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta), Guys and Dolls (West End show), Giselle (ballet at the opera house) and Resurrection Blues (Arthur Miller play with Neve Cambell). We also went down to Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral.

We ate out or cooked proper meals every night, which was hard going for my Bix-eating stomach, and George even came and saw where I worked. (I'm sorry George that they wouldn't let you in to use the bathroom, but it is a secure building. And no, I still don't know if they would have let you if you were Tony Blair).

Very very busy couple of weeks. Now it is relax and save time for the next month or so, and then in April I will go on a couple of trips. One is a coach tour of Wales, and the other is two weeks in Turkey.
