Out of Sequence London Update

Thursday 8th October

Currently in London staying with our friends Sue and Michael at their amazing mews home in Kensington, previously owned by the Prince of Orange. Kim is at present having her hair cut across the road at Henny's, having just returned from a visit to Kensington Palace and Park. Must look your best in W8.

There is far too much to do in this amazing city so we are attempting just some of what London offers. The Palace was amazing and had an exhibition titled The Last Debutants. The exhibition explores the "glamourous and alluring world of the 1958 debutant season". I particularly liked the newspaper coverage of the day where the most outrageous act of the season reported was when a number of debutant dreams (ie males), went swimming in their undies. By gosh they paid for it with an all out attack by their partners who bombarded them with champagne glasses!. This is what made the empire great.

Ticked off two more must do's, when we lunched opposite the Park at the Goat Tavern, and had Cod and chips and Bangers and mash - both with mushy peas. Very good too!.

By the way, it was bright and sunny all day today. Even if it was wet, my day has just been made because Michael has just opened a bottle of 1982 Chateau Gazin Pomerol to breathe. Does life get any better?.
