On friday, Sharon had a birthday, so I took the afternoon off and we met at Harrods. It's the most amazing store, but completely confusing - even the map! Eventually we found what we were looking for - the scones and cream. I had mine with a pot of tea called 'afternoon blend' - it was entirely appropriate.
That night we went to Covent Garden, to the Drury Lane theatre, and saw the stage production of Lord of the Rings. Some might think that's a little nerdy, I'm cool with that, and the play was nothing short of absolutely amazing. I wish I'd been able to take photo's of the stage as the sides and top were covered in a layer of branches. The stage itself was circular, and revolved, and was also segmented so depending on the scene they could raise sections and create a bridge or a valley, or the firey hole at Mordor where Frodo drops the ring. At one point the scary Orcs came into the audience and were sneaking up on people - you could hear screams and then laughter all over the theatre. It was 3 bum numbing hours, but I hardly noticed.
(The one piece of theatre I must see before I go, is Dirty Dancing. Yeah, now you're really cringing!!)
