Things to do on weekends
Thanks to a generous friend of Kate’s, we had tickets to see Madam Butterfly at the Coliseum theater in London’s West End on Saturday night.
The theater was amazing! My knees weren’t a big fan of the “very little leg room” seats, but the spectactical was truely an experience. Eventhough this production was in English, there was still subtitles. It was entertaining actually reading the subtitles because you are surprised when they can sing something like “would you like a drink”!
We’ve also found out, that if you are hanging out in the West End of an evening, you can secure cheap last minute tickets to plays, opera and orchestras. Yet another thing to do on a Saturday evening!
As for Sunday, we took the opportunity to enjoy an afternoon at our local “pick-your-own” farm Rectory Farm.
We are now the proud new owners of 5 large punnets of raspberries, 2 of strawberries, 1 of red and 1 of black currents. One good thing about pick-your-own is that you have to taste to ensure you get the berries that suit you. Word of advice though, berries alone can’t be counted as a meal…
Did they weigh you on the way in and out of the U-pick? And, more importantly, should they have?
