Don & Scott in the UK - May / June 2022
Don & Scott arrived in the UK on May 27th and stayed at the Park Plaza by Westminster Bridge.
The next day they came over to Stratford to a) have breakfast at Sawmill, b) collect some money Martin & I owe them plus collect some NHS LFT tests and, c) see me!

Later on in the day, I got a WhatsApp saying their guest for 'My Fair Lady' was indisposed and would I like to go?
Not my sort of thing at all but, nevertheless, an experience not to be missed, so I went.
Well, despite having marvelous seats at nearly the front of the stalls, I could neither hear much of the dialogue nor see enough to recognise much of what was going on, but I did enjoy it. The scenery, chorography and costume appeared spectacular and, to my surprise, I knew most of the tunes. Where did I acquire that information? A live orchestra, even with my hearing, is magnificent.
Thanks to D&S.
London seems to have recovered from the pandemic! I could hardly barge my way through the streets of Soho, what with the crowds. Absolutely great to see this life in my #1 city.
