Wednesday 16th PM

Great luck; old friends in from Spain for one night and staying over in London with two spare tickets for Wicked.
A lovely pre-theatre dinner at L'Artiste in Shepherds Market followed by a great fun evening of musical theatre.
With everyone riding high, a decision was taken to go for a post-theatre drink at Kettner's Champagne bar in Soho.
Looking at the Christmas lights riding through Oxford Street was wonderful and the sprinkling of snow today really put us all in the Christmas frame of mind.
Kettner's has a good choice of champagne's and having sampled a few, Poppy and I decided we'd stay in town for the night, rather than rush back; so I made a call and got us a suite at The Grosvenor on Park Lane, which is where all four of us landed for a night cap.
Falling into the sumptuous bed of our suite, I drifted off with ease and with a contented smile on my face. I'm grateful for the spontaneity of the day, seeing old friends and having this level of freedom.
