The National Theatre, London
Contributions by the author of this humble Yorkshire blog will be suspended for two days from today as the aforesaid author will be in London with his spouse visiting his only begotten son and his London-born mistress* who has bought us tickets to see a show at The National Theatre.
* - to clarify, the author of this blog does not have a mistress. The young lady in question is the only begotten son's mistress..
See you soon, looking forward to hearing all about it.

I had a comfortable journey to London & Cheltenham.
A Standard Premium ticket on Avanti West Coast Train.
Cranes, egrets, ducks and honking geese in the gated Wetlands of Putney.
Girls from Putney High School Boat Club sculling on the Thames,
rowing past fearless swans.
Henry Moore's Falling Warrior in Tate Britain then a glass of Chablis in
Gordon's Wine Bar in steep little Villiers Street (oldest wine bar in London).
Tourists taking photos of the Life Guards on their imperturbable horses.
Then Cirencester, the golden town, a few miles from Cheltenham.
My first time outside Scotland since Covid.
Sounds like a nice break John. Do you require subtitles when communicating in southern England?
DeleteHave fun! And if I were you, I would not refer to your son's partner as his "mistress" in her presence.
ReplyDeleteShe laughed when I used that term.
DeleteDoes his girlfriend know about this mistress?
ReplyDeleteMy son is approaching the age of 39. He is too old to have a "girlfriend". That's for schoolboys.
DeleteAre you seeing Dear England ???
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to but the preview show was cancelled at the last minute.
DeleteHave a great time :)
ReplyDeleteLondon was so hot, it felt like Adelaide in December.
DeleteIs she going to like being called his "mistress"? LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe only other suitable tern I can think of is "lover" but that is a bit too French.
DeleteHmmm. Say hello to Steve and Dave if you see them.
ReplyDeleteDave is in Ireland Mr Taylor and I would feel nervous about meeting Steve.
DeleteI'll have a cup of tea ready or maybe something cooler in this heatwave.
ReplyDeleteI hammered on the door and shouted "ADDY!" at the top of my voice. You must have been in the garden.
