**WARNING - THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS** We recently went to see Cinderella at the Gillian Lynne Theatre for my birthday. Like most of the musicals I see these days, I didn't know much about it and hadn't listened to the soundtrack prior to going. Andrew Lloyd Webber's new musical, with the story written by Emerald [...]
Recently we visited Chawton House and Gardens. It was mainly to see the gardens, but Chawton House actually turned out to be the gem of the visit. There are two car parks, one close by Chawton House (which we weren't aware of) and one in the village opposite Jane Austen's House. We parked in the [...]
We visited Bath recently. It was the first time visiting for both the hubby and I - and we loved it! I adore the Regency period - of course, being a Jane Austen fan. And I love Georgian architecture so there was a lot to see just walking around. Plenty of shops and museums to [...]

Last year we saw the musical Be More Chill at The Shaftesbury Theatre, based on Ned Vizzini's novel of the same name. I went into this musical knowing literally nothing about it, but the hubby did make me listen to a couple of songs to convince me to go watch it. The musical is about [...]
I love Hampton Court. Back in 2019, the hubby and I were members of Historic Royal Palaces and tried to visit all the English palaces in one year. We managed it and we have since visited Hampton Court many more times. When the hubby found out they were holding a light trail for Christmas, he [...]
