Wednesday went to a Taylor Swift concert at the O2 with Liz Lowey. We got front row for three of the songs and I met Mrs. Swift. I gave her a lace headband and she gave me a hug. Then at one point she did the heart sign at me....We however were not invited to the T-party which was such a bummer.
Then on Thursday we went to Windsor and had a "behind the ropes" tour of the castle with a fascinating tour guide. Following our look-around we went to lunch with Sue at Wagamama. Back at Waterloo we quickly turned around and got on a train to Hampton Court for a talk by the writer and producer of the Tudors.
Spent Friday with Liz around the city. Started off shopping Oxford, South Moulton and St. Christopher's Place, then went to a museum adjacent to Sommerset House (lots of Impressionist works, Seurat, Manet and moderns..), ran into Alex White!, had tea and a look-see around Liberty, and stopped by the fancy-schmany gold cave for macaroons. That evening saw the murder mystery, 8 Woman, with Katherine and Gordon.
Saturday I went to Liberty to pitch my headbands, said goodbye to Anita, went on a long walk through Hyde Park and met up with Sophia and Nick in Chelsea.
Yesterday was Mother's Day and we went to church, the Evolving English exhibition, brunch at the club (where we talked with a lady whose house/legends were the inspiration for Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre) and had dinner with the padres, Sue, her husband and Roddy.
Today we went to Becensfield again to visit with the Moe's and then saw The Children's Hour (starring Keira Knightley and the woman from Mad Men). It was extremely good and thought provoking-a really powerful play! Frustrating and emotional it is one of the better dramas I've seen.
