      Plastic cups from 9pm 😳😜🍹

      June 5, 2022 in England β‹… 🌧 13 Β°C

      Yes! Perhaps I should have my gay card revoked but I have put duty to my people & country above my own needs this week… It is only tonight that I’ve decided to let loose and just go with my other (often, less receptive) “people” and have a big gay night out! Oh! What a beautiful night it has been!…

      I had some ‘dirty’ chicken at some new supposed high class chicken joint (Wingman’s) in Leicester Square (…it was so salty I had to drink ALL night! …well, at least that’s my story πŸ˜³πŸ˜±πŸ™ˆπŸ˜œ) and I knew exactly where I was going… Admiral Duncans!

      I walked past earlier in the week but I just didn’t feel the vibe to go in… Tonight! I did! And it was worth every minute! Some very very confident and talented drag queen charmed the audience with her many talents (including….wait for it!…actually singing live, not miming… and everybody was, as I remember, friendly and kind to each other! Doesn’t happen that often in the gay community but here, it did! πŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ

      Something I forgot to mention earlier: every single Jubilee event was supposed to have rain but there was not one drop… Not one! Tonight, it is raining like a bitch in London but nobody cares because the royal proceedings are over…

      You know what? The Royals have to continue with their politically correct life where, us mere mortals, are free to be whoever we choose! Think about that next time you knock their privileged lives! I bet William, Harry, Kate, and in the future George, would give anything to just wander the streets like I have tonight but they never will!

      The night is young! My Royal duties are fulfilled. Now, it’s time to satisfy my own needs!

      Just for the record: I’m so Proud of Me! Not only did I diligently save the substantial cash
      (…diligently $98 a week for past 5 years) πŸ’° needed to travel 🧭 fully and without restrictions (…on a part time wage, mind you…) but I follow my heart, dreams and sensibilities to achieve it! Go Me! 🀠 πŸ‘‘β€οΈπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§βœŠπŸ»πŸ₯°β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™

      God!
      Save our Queen (and me!) πŸ₯°β€οΈπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸŽ‰βœŠπŸ»πŸ‘œπŸ‘‘
      πŸ˜‡ God bless my Mum also: sending me a message to “…be safe on the streets…!” That train has LONG past ✊🏻😜πŸ₯°β€οΈπŸ˜˜      Read more

      Leisurely London Life & Sotheby’s

      June 6, 2022 in England β‹… ☁️ 12 Β°C

      With the right Royal πŸ‘‘ Extravaganza extinguished, the four day lavish long weekend over I decided on a more leisurely ladies day 😜Determined to have a FULL English breakfast 🍳 I went on the hunt down back alleyways and cobbled roads in search of just that. Boy! Did I get it! Eggs 🍳 poached to perfection, crispy bacon πŸ₯“ pork sausages, magicAL mushrooms πŸ„ grilled tomatoes πŸ… homemade baked beans 🫘 and black pudding (which I reluctantly tried). Just between you & the grease also helped the indulgence in one too many beverages last night! 😜πŸ₯³πŸ˜΅‍πŸ’«πŸ˜΅‍πŸ’«

      HOLD THE FARM!
      …the Jubilee Continues πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘

      My wanderings bought me to Sothebys in New Bond Street and what a surprise… A Jubilee exhibition of amazing and priceless tiaras! Not only were they exquisite but Diana‘s wedding day Tara was on display. See first video. The second video is of Queen Victoria‘s tiara. I died and went to tiara πŸ‘‘ heaven πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡ And! Yes LT: that’s the gayest thing I’ve said all week! 🫣🫣😜😜

      There was also an exhibition of history’s strongest female monarchs from Queen Mary to Queen Elizabeth II. Feast your senses on these! What a find! There is also a painting which was done by Winston Churchill… It was fascinating! Most of these artworks were hundreds of thousands of pounds and into the millions! And, even better for us poor people, especially after this holiday, lightning speed free Wi-Fi and very comfy couches in our sumptuously decorated reception area…

      At this rate The Platinum Jubilee Celebrations May never end! And, why should they! πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸ‘πŸ»β€οΈπŸ‘‘πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

      PS: I forgot to mention the beautiful Balan from Romania… πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯° As I was strolling along Bond Street where all the high-end retail is, this absolutely gorgeous male model type tempted me to come into the skincare shop and he did a full demonstration of face wash and cream… He was so beautiful and a sparkling personality… I wish I had of got a picture of him but I was mesmerised and starstruck and forgot to! He asked me if I knew Dracula… In a sexy accent, and then told me he was the son of Dracula! He was an absolute Charmer!

      Damn!… Yes, I also bought the facecream LOL 😝🫠🀦‍♂️πŸ”₯πŸ₯°      Read more

      Richard Returns πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ•ΊπŸΌπŸ˜‡

      June 18, 2022 in England β‹… ☁️ 14 Β°C

      For me, today was another big travel day, Again… But, I am very happy to be back in London after an extremely relaxing short break up north. Thanks πŸ™ again to Richard and Steven for such a wonderful stay in the beautiful English countryside. I felt so privileged. What an amazing location… It was so quaint: today when we arrived back from Manchester there was a typical English fair happening within their town. Just like you see in your typical good English Rom-Coms. πŸ˜πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ we went to the local gingerbread shop and had a delicious sausage roll which was home-made followed by a gingerbread man… Whoops! I mean gingerbread person…πŸ€«πŸ˜‚πŸ€¦‍♂️

      It was lovely to see Richard again. We went out to a very lovely wine 🍷 bar, just 4 doors down from our hotel in Maida Vale! It seems like a very nice area and it’s about half an hour tube ride from the centre of London. I look at it this way: I’m discovering a brand-new area and from what I have seen it looks really nice. It has Tesco and Sainsbury as well as Marks & Spencer. New discoveries in London is always great by me! πŸ•ΊπŸΌ

      I know what it is like when you first arrive in London… You need to see something that is familiar to you (…for me, it’s Big Ben) so I suggested to Richard that we head straight for old Compton Street… As tired as I was so pleased to see Richard loving every minute of it… πŸ˜πŸ˜‡πŸ˜

      Oh, I meant to mention how the entire UK πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ went into panic mode because it was hot πŸ₯΅ for two days! The news was on every paper and on every TV news report! It was so funny… πŸ˜‚ You would’ve thought a bomb πŸ’£ had dropped… It was big news πŸ“° I suppose it doesn’t happen that much… But it was funny to see how it played out. πŸ˜β˜€οΈπŸ”₯

      …anyway, not much else to report… Only that I am so happy to have an extra few days in this amazing and effervescent city!

      Enjoy the few pics from today & over the past 24 hours…πŸ•ΊπŸΌπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§β€οΈπŸ·πŸ₯°      Read more

      Day 27

      Full day in London!

      February 9 in England β‹… ☁️ 13 Β°C

      Full London day woooo! Cloudy with a chance of even more clouds. But that didn’t stop us! We went to the Camden markets and strolled around there which felt like we could go on and on forever. I bought some socks! But those markets had absolutely everything you could dream of, including a burger the size of your head. No seriously we saw these people get a burger and it was. Ginormous. Anyway fun little highlight. Then we trained to Kings Cross Station where the plan WAS to go see the 9 & 3/4 shop but it was being renovated :(( so the next closest thing to witches hats were fluffy hat guards at at Buckingham Palace! Not really too much to say. It was a cool building with a cool statue and fluffy hat guards. But then we made our way over to Westminster Abbey and Big Ben - both of which definitely lived up to their name! On the way there we passed through St James’s park which meant seeing pelicans and feeding squirrels! Big highlight for sure. We contemplated going on the London Eve but London weather was being London weather so we decided not to. We went to Covent Gardens for a big shop in the huge mall, we also saw some super cool opera and a string quintet gigging! Man that was cool. Then it was tiiiiime! Time for Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club!…almost. We stopped off at a few bookshops on our way there just because we had some spare time. After a good read we went to go see Philip Lassiter and his funk band and wowzers that was something I’m never gonna forget. Best jazz club I’ve ever seen and out of this world playing. I even got a photo with the guy! We went to his 1st of 2 sets so we had time to go to a local pub afterwards. These English pubs sure know what they’re doing. We headed home after and we both crashed zzzzRead more

      Prison break

      November 21, 2023 in England β‹… ☁️ 11 Β°C

      This morning we departed Ireland early, after some no show buses we managed to make it to the airport for a very quick flight to London.

      Once we arrived we had to catch yet another bus to the city centre as we flew into Stansted as it was cheaper. Once we arrived we walked around and explored some parts of the city before eating some 5 guys and heading to our bnb.

      We ventured back out again, checked out a mini Christmas market and enjoyed some mulled beverages before heading to the headline of today, the theatre! Where we enjoyed The book of Mormon.

      We both thoroughly enjoyed the show, we didn't know what we were expecting but it definitely exceeded expectations.

      Day 5

      Troisième journée : Soho et Notting Hill

      January 5, 2023 in England β‹… ☁️ 12 Β°C

      Salut!

      Aujourd'hui, j'ai beaucoup marché. Je me suis inspiré de mon petit guide touristique qui détaille des suggestions d'itinéraires pour me promener dans deux quartiers en particulier.
      J'ai commencé par me rendre dans le coin de Soho, qui regorge de boutiques de toutes sortes, entre autres choses.

      En commençant, je me suis arrêtée à la boutique M&M's et à celle d'Harry Potter qui étaient sur mon chemin. J'ai passé dans le quartier chinois de la place, pour ensuite me rendre au Golden Square - un petit parc, si on veut. J'ai poursuivi en longeant Carnaby Street, qui était joliment décorée pour les fêtes. J'ai visité quelques boutiques sur Berwick Street avant d'arriver au sympathique Soho Square! J'ai terminé la visite de Soho par la librairie Foyles qui compte plusieurs étages de livres pour absolument tous les goûts! J'ai adoré cette partie de ma journée, d'autant plus que la température était idéale! πŸ™‚

      En me rendant à Notting Hill, j'ai passé par le vaste Hyde Park. C'était beau et j'ai particulièrement apprécié les fontaines qui l'agrémentent! Elles m'ont apaisée.

      Rendue à Notting Hill, j'ai également suivi les recommandations de mon guide et j'ai ainsi pu observer des bâtiments et maisons colorés sur Portobello Road et sur Denbigh Terrace. J'ai parcouru les nombreux kiosques qui forment le marché de Portobello Road pour ensuite m'arrêter dans une autre librairie. Celle-là était petite, mais très chaleureuse! J'ai fini ma tournée et ma journée chez un disquaire où je me suis pris deux vinyles à ajouter à ma (très petite) collection, soit le dernier album de Muse et Brand New Eyes de Paramore (mon préféré)! 🀟

      Tout mon corps est maintenant "racké" de cette journée de marche. Espérons que cette nuit me sera réparatrice! πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚

      À demain!      Read more

      The Three Greyhounds

      May 24, 2023 in England β‹… β›… 21 Β°C

      After the Clerkenwell outing, I took the Tube into the theatre district to meet up with my nephew and a couple of his friends for dinner and a show--the first London performance of Spitting Image: The Musical. The show was hilarious, and it was a fun night out in wonderful company.Read more

      Day 70

      London

      May 26, 2023 in England β‹… β˜€οΈ 18 Β°C

      This morning, Daniel went for a run around Harefield and called home and Gab also had some video calls with friends.
      After some breakfast, we caught the bus and tube to Baker Street station and walked around 40 mins to Piccadilly Circus (passing through all of the shops in Mayfair and the start of West End). It was another lovely day in London and we saw all of the Union Jack flags that are still in the street from the King’s coronation a couple of weeks ago.
      We then went to Palace Theatre in the West End to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! We bought last minute tickets to see both parts of the show. The first part started at 2pm and was really great!
      At around 4:30, we left the theatre and walked around until we arrived at a pub which advertised that it had “award winning” pies so of course we ordered one steak and ale pie and one bangers and mash - when in England, eat as the English do! We enjoyed a pint and prosecco as well. Then we went for a walk along the shops again and went into a huge pharmacy/department store where we bought some essentials which we were running low on and then went to the Lego shop! It was very cool with a huge Lego Big Ben, Sherlock Holmes, multiple Harry Potter displays, Shakespeare and red buses!
      We returned back to the theatre for Part 2 of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child which started at 7pm. We really enjoyed the show - the special effects were really cool and the story line was quite interesting! We couldn’t stop talking about what would happen next in the intermission and the breaks between both parts.
      After being all Harry Potted out for the day, we walked back to Piccadilly Circus and took the tube and bus home.      Read more
