A tale of four cities (I'm so witty)

Well dear reader after a busy weekend I returned to London, Monday morning to stay with Peter. Whilst there were a few challenges getting there we met and went for our usual pizza and catch-up before heading back to the flat. Time spent with Peter is always very relaxing and leisurely which is nice. Tuesday we popped put for lunch again and spotted Brian Miller (google him) before heading to the cinema. However when we got there we realized that there wasn't much of interest on sadly, so had a very nice cup of tea and cake in Notting Hill which was very sophisticated (the cafe not me). However come Wednesday afternoon and I headed back up north, feeling very relaxed.

Thursday was another train journey, this time to Birmingham for a catch-up with Brian (avid readers I don't need to remind you who he is, do I?). Anyway we met at our usual spot, the Edwardian Tearooms and had a lovely lunch, followed by tea and cake (there's a pattern emerging) talking about what we've both been up to which is always lovely. We were there for most of the day which was unexpected but enjoyable none the less.

I visited another city on Friday, this time Manchester. We (Mum, Dad and Helen) all went to see 'Twelfth Night' at the Exchange. Having never seen it before I knew nothing of the plot or what to expect but really enjoyed it. It was a modern setting and surprisingly funny and beautifully designed. Afterwards (yep, you guessed it dear reader) we stage doored (still a verb) and met Anthony Calf who was very nice.

I felt I'd not been to enough places this week so got a very (I mean very) early train to Cardiff and met Sam's family for a trip around the Experience. Having not been with the twins for a while there was a lot that had changed. As it was Easter Saturday they had monsters walking around which terrified them and we all got made into monsters, as well as listening to talks from Kate Walshe and Mike Tucker (google them) which made for a brilliant day! Sunday was spent at home where Julie and Sam cooked a rather good Sunday lunch. I think it’s safe to say I've done plenty of traveling this week!
