Parachutes? Anyone?

This is the view from my seat yesterday at the Royal Albert Hall in
Kensington. I can honestly say as I looked down I felt dizzy the
entire time we were there! Matt clung on to my arm for dear life! We
were the last and highest row in the place ...never again!!!!

A Night at the Theatre!

Mum and I went out to The Rose Theatre, in Kingston, literally on our doorstops tonight to see A Midsummer Night's Dream, starring yes, nothing less than the great and marvellous Dame Judy Dench! Needless to say she was magnificent as Titania, Queen of the Fairies, but the rest of the cast were also pretty amazing to say the least.

Mum hadn't been to see a Shakespeare play since she was a little girl. I haven't been since I was at Uni, but this comedy has always been one of my favourites, and I think that tonight my mum knew why.

The comedy transends the ages, since Will wrote it... the actors made you see no difference in them from us, despite the Elizabethan setting of the play.

It was truely beautiful.


To cap it all off, as we were entering the seating area, who should stand next to me, but Vivienne Westwood!!!!! She sat just a few seats away in a different row, so we had a good look at her and she is truely technicolour in real life too!!

Windsor Walks

Went for a lovely Saturday morning stroll around Windsor this morning with Mum, Dad and Scarlett. We walked into Windsor, feed the swans and the few ducks that were brave enough to get in amongst them! 

Scarlett enjoyed it all, and it is part of my Mum's get Kelly fit plan. Last saturday we walked around the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park. I'm pretty ashamed of the physical condition I am in. My back hurts after I have been walking for only 5 minutes and luckily my Mum understands this, and unlike my husband, doesn't walk off and leave me trailing behind, but encourages me. It's pretty hard going but I am trying. 

We had another hospital visit yesterday. Third one recently. More of the same, and upsetting as usual. Mum came with me this time which made a real difference. I'm very very lucky to have her.
