We Will Rock You



We will, we will Rock You! And we did rock, right to the Tottenham Court Road, Dominion Theatre. Going to the theatre is one of the done things when you come to London, so I'm surprised we held off as long as we did.

We both had a fantastic time, along with Sam and Eion who enjoy Queen’s music as much as we do. The show had a very British slant to it, with all sorts of local in-jokes and references. The lead two characters were both excellent, although personally the leading lady (Hannah Jane Fox), with her biting sarcasm and Northern British cynicism was a stand out performance for me.

Well, we are planning on going to another show… but I can’t decide because there is so many to choose from in London!

Our New “Home Sweet Home”

Well, here we are now settling into our own place. We are renting a 1 bedroom flat in Willesden Green which is in North West London. Our place even has a small garden and a tiny conservatory (just in case we want to do something really Aussie and have a BBQ).

We also have a parking space which is unusual for London, but lucky for us we now we have a new Mini Cooper S (broom broom baby!) to put in that parking space. It is great to have the freedom to go places that the subway just won’t take you and is certainly great for those driving holidays to Wales and Scotland that we are planning. Or pehaps somewhere more Shakespearian...

We will take some nice photos once we have the place looking all shmick.
