Back in Plymouth
November 23, 2008 –
Yes, am back safe and sound. Phew, what an action packed few days I have had. I managed to get most things done and even squeezed in a little sightseeing too. I popped into Madam Tussauds, thats expensive isnt it?!! £25 to see some wax models. I only had an hour to do it but managed to buzz around and see everything. Some naughty boys tried to scare me in the house of horrors – purleeze! Still, some of the wax works were incredible – the Winston Churchill one for instance was scarily real, even down to the little thread veins on his cheeks – yes I did get that close!, but some were not that good in a ’Dont be silly!’ kind of way. I’ll tell you what was nice, my hotel overlooked the house of commons and big ben. I could see him from my window and it was very surreal to hear the chimes on the hour, after hearing them for so many years on News at Ten. Half of me expected to see that lovely Trevor McDonald come out of my bathroom with the news :)
I was treated to a lovely champagne flight on the London Eye, a fab, fab Michelin star dinner and a hilarious show by the name of Le Clique at the London Hippodrome. (My profuse thanks once again, sexy. You know who you are x) I wanted to put a link here for the show so you could a get a feel for it (as it were ;) but I left the programme on the train (doh!) and cant seem to find a direct link on t’internet.
Anyway, it was burlesque meets the circus meets comedy – excellent! My favourite was Miss Behave, a totally naughty girl :) ( I loved her) and there was a rather fine boy doing a male burlesque routine in a bath tub – I am more than sure he is/will be a gay icon. Going back to the train though, we got delayed at Exeter because we had to wait for the police to escort some rather loud and intoxicated young scallywags off, that’ll be the same ones that the buffet car was happily supplying copious amounts of booze to for hours then. Hmmm. So back in Plymouth until my January tour in Bath. (27/28) It’s nice to go away but its nice to get home too :) Now, just how much did you miss me? x
