      Sherwood forest to London

      September 1, 2023 in England ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Up early again so that I could get to Sherwood forest before catching the 12.30 bus to London, I reluctantly left my lovely little room and ensuite for the streets of Nottingham just waking up to the day. I was amazed again at the size of the buildings here, they seemed to loom over the streets in their magnificence.

      I was well in time to catch the bus, not wanting to miss it, as, if I did I wouldn't be seeing the forest at all. It took about an hour to get out to the forest from Nottingham and I enjoyed watching the streets and farm lands pass by as we made out way North.

      I took the wrong pathway to the "giant oak tree" where it is said Robin and his merry men sheltered once upon a time.      Read more

      Day 8

      St Andrew's

      March 9, 2019 in England ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

      Heute war ein anstrengender Tag und das schreib ich geduscht im Bett mit laufendem Fernseher bevor es neun Uhr ist! Das heißt es war echt anstrengend!
      Angefangen hat der Tag in Fulham bei St Andrew‘s da haben wir einen Abendmahlsgottesdienst gefeiert. Da hab ich leider feststellen müssen, dass ich auch mit geschlossenen Augen weinen kann. Ich war sehr gerührt und hab mich aber auch sehr hilflos gefühlt, weil ich nichts tun kann. Alle waren sehr nett und ich hab mich sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt.
      Wir sind dann noch durch das Dörflein gelaufen bevor wir etwas zu essen gefunden haben. Das war lecker und ich hatte mich dann auch so weit eigentlich wieder beruhigt.      Read more

      Day 58

      London

      June 7, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F

      Up to get organized for London. Did not even unpack last night, fell into bed. Spent AM time cleaning up and doing some theater planning. Have a list of plays I would like to see, have 5 days and plan on 5 or 6 plays. Off to "downtown" and the discount ticket kiosk. Got tickets for Dream Girls tonight and then went to the box office for Consent - a Harold Pinter drama - for tomorrow night. Got my Oyster (transportation card) for the week, walked around the usual hordes of tourists in the Piccadilly Circus area. Back to flat to get groceries at the Waitross (supermarket) right across the street.

      Lunch and some more planning time and out late afternoon for a walk in Holland Park with an entrance right across the street. Had been here last year in April and it was so beautiful with all the tulips in bloom. This year, all of the latest planting (I think they were iris) were gone and they are getting ready to replant the next annual. Some roses still left in the Rose Garden but not a lot there either. So not as pretty this year but still a huge park and so much more to see and do. Lots of babies in carriages, toddlers - some terrific kids playgrounds - and, as always in London, heard part of a rehearsal for their Opera in the Park series, and lots of people just out enjoying one of the fantastic London parks.

      I checked out the Kyoto Garden, a Japanese park within Holland Park. It is still very beautiful and comes up as one of the 5 best parks in London. Back to figure out the washing machine and out for the theater. Dream Girls was good, not great. I marvel at how many good singers there are in the world. This musical has a lot of them. The lead was terrific and one of the fellows (their manager for those of you who have seen the play) was also excellent. Walked around for a bit after the show to see the usual mobbed night life in this area (the West End theater district) of London at 11PM at night. Always fun - for just a little while.

      London

      June 8, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

      Feeling much more rested today! Catch up on E-mail and "life" in the AM. I have not done any shopping for 2 months and have a list of things I want to get here in London. So need to start on that today or, as usual, I will be shopping at the airport.

      A warm sunny day in London, the city sparkles. First off to go to the National Theater (for those of you who like theater this is the theater in London that does the filming of one of their performances that show in our movie houses) for tickets for Saturday. The National always has new/innovative and unusual remakes of old standards. They do more drama than musicals. Saw Angels in America here last year, this year it will be Julie. A old drama that I had not heard of before and it just opened last week. The gal who plays the lead was Princess Margaret in series The Crown - Vanessa Kirby. Will let you know.

      Then a wonderful lunch at one of my favorite London places - Wagamama. An upscale noodles place and they now have a location on the busy Southbank area of the Thames near the National and the Royal Festival Hall. Duck Ramen in the wonderful London sunshine. All is right with the world. On my way back to the tube, I went past the box office of a play I had been looking at, new, called the Moderate Soprano. I went in and, as luck would have it, they have a matinee on Saturdays, so bought a ticket. So double header tomorrow.

      Then off to Harrods for my annual trip around the store. The store is always changing and I continue to be amazed to understand how so many people really "shop" there. Harrods's defines upscale shopping for me. I just look for the Harrods gift store, get my mug and little things for friends that might appreciate the sentiment. A real treat today as I was walking by one of the many restaurants - an Italian and Pizzeria - and a chef (at least he was all dressed in white with a bakers hat) was singing Italian opera!! What fun! Did not get my camera out in time.

      Home for a "feet up" and change for the evening's outing. Tonight is the Harold Pinter drama - Consent. Had never seen and it was excellent. Acting was terrific and the rape subject is timely with the #metoo focus. An interesting way to approach a legal issue through the life of 3 couples. Would highly recommend.

      First Views of London

      August 20, 2015 in England ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

      We arrived in London some three hours late, not landing until about 10:30 am. Then we had to go through customs and passport control. We were obviously not going to meet our appointment to tour Kensington Palace. We initially did not see the representative from British Cars, but after just a few minutes he showed up and took us from Heathrow Airport to the Kensington Olympia Hilton Hotel. Although our room was not ready, we were allowed to check in and to store our luggage with the concierge. He advised that the fastest way to the Globe Theater was by taxi. We caught one in front of the hotel, but the traffic, according to his own admission was worse than usual. He attributes the problems to the current mayor's efforts to turn every major highway into a bicycle path. We passed Buckingham Palace, as well as the site of the Blackfriars abbey on our way, arriving at the Globe shortly after 1 pm. We bought a sandwich, which we split, and a small salad. Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” was hilariously funny. We decided because of Glenda's arthritic hip, not to walk up to Trafalgar Square, but to take a cab back to the Hotel. Besides, it had started to rain lightly, and all of our rain gear was still packed up and locked in the offices of the concierge. When we got back to the hotel our room was ready, and we again enlisted the services of the concierge to reserve tickets for a tour of Buckingham Palace on Saturday. Instead of dining in the expensive restaurant at the hotel, we walked back down toward Hyde Park and found a wonderful, inexpensive Thai restaurant called the Blue Lagoon. After our meal we just went strolling back down toward the memorial for Prince Albert, and we decided to stop into a little shop owned by a young Egyptian from Alexandria to buy bottled water. I had a short conversation with him, then we continued our walk. Almost back to our hotel, even though she was holding my arm, Glenda's hip seized up on he and she dropped like a rock onto the sidewalk. Bystanders stopped to assist. They were very kind and concerned. She was all right except for skinned knees and elbows. We came back tot the hotel and settled in for the night. At this point we have been awake for over thirty-six hours. Sleep will come easily tonight.Read more

      Took the tube right to our apartment although we were minus the luggage of Deb and Glen. The bags did not make it from Windsor. After we checked in and got the keys we headed on the tube to take anoat cruise on the Thames. Unfortunately the pier we went to was closed for repairs. We walked down to the nest pier and just missed the boat. While waitin, we decided to hop into this nice cafe on the Thames. Bartender lovely, gave us free martini with our beers and free crisps. Then got on the cruise and went all the way down past parliment buildings,big ben, tower of London,tower bridge etc,great! We found a great place to eat that was really hopping. Then went home on the tube.Read more

      Busfahrt durch London

      January 7, 2010 in England ⋅ ⛅ 0 °C

      Das Wetter war am zweiten Tag kein Stückchen besser. Kalt und Nieselregen welcher sofort auf dem Boden eine Eisschicht hin zauberte. Also am besten wieder in den HopOnHopOff Bus sitzen und sich rum kutschieren lassen.
      Am Abend ging ich ins Musical Grease und in der Nähe fand ich wieder irgend so ein Horrorschuppen zum durchlaufen. Also rein und quietschend im Dauererschrockenenzustand durch.      Read more
