On a personal note ...

Last week, when the sun was shining and I was stuck in the office, I was super jealous of my sister-in-law sending photos of Tony & her having a pub lunch 😣

However yesterday, one of my besties, Pauline, was helping me practice for retirement 😍  We had the most wonderful girls day out, starting with a leisurely train ride down to Canterbury. 

We pottered around a few shops in the sunshine, then headed to this wonderful little mediterranean restaurant that Pauline had discovered.

We sat outside and people-watched, whilst enjoying the meal below ... hummus, olives and pita to start, lamb moussaka and salad to follow.  The food and the service were top-notch. Highly recommended.


Lunch was followed by coffee elsewhere, as we listened to a wonderful accordion player. If you closed your eyes, with the sunshine and the music, it could've been Paris.

Finally, the main purpose of our trip was a matinee performance of Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake, at the Marlowe Theatre; something I've wanted to see since watching the film Billy Elliot, 25 years ago.  Oh my word, it was phenomenal!!!  I was completely enthralled from start to finish. 

What a truly marvellous day out 😍
