Our European Adventure

Sadly, we woke to find that James had already left for work, so we spent the morning just hanging out and chatting with Dom, Kiri and Liz. It was nice just lazing around and drinking coffee and acting like we didn’t have to leave. We were sad to go and Saphira spent pretty much the entire train ride sobbing and sighing and dramatically pronouncing, “I JUST MISS EVERYONE SOOOO MUCH!” Ever since we left she’s been asking, “What do you think Elijah’s doing?” and “What do you think Elijah would say about my drawing?” and “Can we PLEEAASSE buy one of those for Elijah?” It’s heartbreakingly beautiful.

The reason we had to get back to London was to see Wicked. Wow! We were mesmerised from the moment it started. Loved all the little references to the parallel story of the Wizard of Oz. Loved the music. I think we all fell a little bit in love with Elpheba. The thing I love about musicals is that everything that you want to happen, happens. Just when you think, “Now would be a good time for everyone to break into song and dance around,” they do! I love it! Oh my gosh I love it.

Finished the night off at Nandos, which is surprisingly better over here than the one at Buranda shops. Pigged out on hommus with chilli oil, corn, and peri peri chips. Hurrah!
