Chance = Change

After the most glorious few days (far too few) in Edingburgh, Peter and I are back in what has become a more familiar London, and it rather does feel like coming home, since we decided to stay in the same comfortable B and B we stayed in before we went to Scotland.We cancelled the reservations we made at another place, and were happy to return to the neighborhood we have come to enjoy, this Gower Street area, where across the Street is RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) and just a block away is the Goodge Street Underground, from which we can get practically anywhere we wish to go. It is also the nighborhood of the University of London and the British Museum, so there is everything all around us we could ever want in the way of conveniences. Today, for example, with our Abingdon friends freshly departed for the U.S., we are really resting and doing laundry and catching up on emails,etc. All in the same block!! We have become, not exactly what I would call, old London hands, but we are ever so much more familiar than we were when we arrived, and this helps us to gear up for the theater-crammed week ahead. As for theatre, here is what we have seen since our return from Scotland: WOMAN IN WHITE , Sir Webber's latest musical, with lyrics by American David Zippel. Based on Wilkie Collins turn of the century novel of the same name. Audience seemed to love it, and it was totally sold out. We venture to the South Bank to get tix for whatever we can at the National Theatre, and LEAR and THE OLD VIC and FESTEN are in our future as well!!!
We send love to all who read this and care that we ARE HAVING THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME EVER EVER EVER!!!!! More soon!! xxev
