London

Well this is the most unusual environment I've ever blogged in. I am currently on a train en route to the big smoke also known as London to do London based activities and I am super excited.   

Our itinerary for the next few days is as follows:

• Arrive in London at 11:36 
• Bomb over to Leicester Square to go to the tkts booth 
• Lunch 
• 1430 go to see Miss Saigon 
• 1730 zoom over to Kensington to check in at the Hilton
• Dump stuff in room and then head back out to see a different show tbc 
• Have a cheeky pint 
• Go back to the hotel for sleeps 
• Bit of a lie in 
• Go for brunch 
• 1130 get scared at London Dungeons 
• Spend afternoon doing calming down activity 
• 1930 Billy Elliot 
• Cheeky pint 
• Back to hotel for sleeps 
• Lie in 
• Check out of hotel 
• Touristy stuff 
• 1409 train back to Exeter

I know right. I can almoat hear your twangs of jealousy.

I do loves me an itinerary - especially when it's as exciting as this one. The original plan was to see Once tonight but I am an idiot and didn't actually go all the way to the end of the booking proces which wouuld explain why the tickets never arrived in the post. John wasn't that fussed for seeing it anyway. Apparently "they play their own instruments on stage" wasn't enough of a compelling review to get him excited about it. Our options are now wide open.  

There's quite a few shows we haven't seen yet and there are lots on at the moment that we're interested in seeing. Once is most definitely still an option but we're also looking at Dirty Rotten Scoundrels as it has an absolutely stellar cast. There are loads of options on the non musical front too. We'll just have to  see what's available.   

There are some more bits I quite fancy doing in London too. I really want to ride the cable car over the Thames but I don't know whether it'll be something I want to do after beinng scared witless at the Dungeons. It doesn't seem like a calming activity for someone who is a wee bit height shy.  

Oh I also neglected to mention that when we get back we just have to drop our things at home and then we're back out to see a amateur production of Guys and Dolls. So essentially by Sunday there is a small possibility we will be all theatred out.  Probably not though.  

Anyway, I  promised the husband that I wouldn't be typing for the entire journey and would at least try to be sociable. It is an anniversary break after all.   

Until next time. 

Anniversary

Today is a rather excellent day because me and my husband are at my Mum and stepdad's and it's just awesome. We're down here because we're on holiday and we're on holiday because it's the week after our anniversary.

Me and my husband got married one year and one day ago and it feels a little bit surreal. I don't know whether surreal is the right word but it certainly feels somewhat right.

This time last year I was in a post wedding bubble and it was properly lovely. I cannot begin to tell you how lovely it is t get married. First of all it cements your relationship with your significant other but secondly it allows people to shower you with love and well wishes. I have never been as happy as I was on my wedding day and I don't know if I'm likely to feel that way again. I suppose when you have a baby there is a similar experience but I haven't had the pleasure of that yet and I don't see it happening in the foreseeable future so I'll just have to ride on the back of that feeling for as long as I can.

Anyway we had a fantastic first anniversary with paper related gifts and lovely cards with some fabulous friends and family and are continuing to celebrate this week. We're spending the next few days down in Cornwall and then we're going to London for a few days of west end fabulousness. So the next blog I type will be on the train up there. I can only hope I find some wifi and or time in London to upload it. If the next blog happens to come on Friday you'll forgive me right?

Until next time.
