Day 198. Pipes, gardens and pure imagination.


When I first moved to London after university, the Crusting Pipe was a regular haunt of mine. Many a happy hour was spent sipping a glass of red and watching the opera singers or classical musicians. Today we took Bea and she absolutely loved it. This particular opera singer combined a magnificent voice with humour and a high level of audience participation.

After drinks we headed to the Drury Lane Theatre to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and I indulged my long held crush on Douglas Hodge. He had some pretty big shoes to fill as Willy Wonka but it would seem his feet were a Cinderella fit and when he sang Pure Imagination I fell head over heels all over again.
