Doug & Jodie

This was a wonderful autumn weekend full of sunshine and clear blue skies!! On Friday night Doug and I met along the south bank near Waterloo and has a lovely French meal. Then we walked to The Cut at Waterloo to see ‘Round and Round the Garden’ at the Old Vic Theatre.  This production was 1 play of the 3 Norman Conquests by Alan Ayckbourn that can been seen either individually or altogether. It was hilariously funny and left us wanting to see the other two productions. The Old Vic is an institution in the theatre world and the theatre in the round setting meant every seat was fabulous and the old ornate box seats were beautiful.

The next day Doug and I headed to Hyde Park for a last sunny walk before it gets cold and perhaps our last in a long time as we’ve only 3 mths left in London!!! We hired a paddle boat and paddled around the Serpentine Lake – it was such a lovely relaxing moment and we had a good laugh chasing ducks and watching people. From here we went on to The V&A museum in Sth Kensington which was spectacular. After lunch in an Italian Cafe we grabbed some of the delicious cupcakes at the Hummingbird Bakery before heading home.

Today Doug is out making the most of the weather and sneaking in a last golf game before the weather turns… leaving Jodie to organise his birthday arrangements and our big trip home… (oh and cleaning )
