Vanilla Ninja

Yesterday was unusual. It was almost the first dry, sunny day in London this year. It was the second time I have used real money this year.

Top Hat

I cannot remember the Festival of Britain, I wasn’t quite born, but it has a lot to answer for.

Budapest Buildings

I usually try to avoid having people in photographs but here the couple emerging onto the steps of the Museum of Fine Arts show its scale and grandeur.

Ruler of the Queen’s Navy

In a recent comment John mentioned that the First Sea Lord’s flagship is HMS Victory. At lunch yesterday I was asked what the difference is between the FSL and the Admiral of the Fleet.

The Producers

An annual treat in the late 1960s was to watch Brian Rix farces on the television and I remember they were at the Garrick Theatre.

Balcony Scene

I have seen Evita at least three times since it opened in 1978. Now there is a new production at The London Palladium.

The Reproaches

The Crucifixion by Giotto (b. 1267 or 1277 – d. 1337 CE). The scene is part of a cycle of frescoes showing the life of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. (Scrovegni Chapel, Padua, c. 1304 to c. 1315)
