A Special London Night

Saturday January 5 marked a three year anniversary of something which continues as life changes, we move around, progress in our professional lives and gain experiences in a whole host of things life has to offer. We celebrated with a special dinner at Covent Garden, in a cosy little restaurant called, Le Deuxieme. We had great food and five-star service.



After dinner, we walked through the bustling streets of London to the West End to see my surprise present, tickets to Les Miserables.



Les Miserable celebrates its 22nd year of performances this year and it is the longest running musical of all time. The historic Queens Theatre, where the musical is played, is surprisingly small, giving it a very intimate feel. Geoff booked great seats in the Dress Circle right in front of centre stage.

As the lights dimmed, we were taken back in history, to the era of the French Revolution. We experienced and felt the hardships of the poverty-stricken, the triumph and tragedy of war, and all the emotions of the intertwining love story.

It was a phenomenal performance by the performers. The set design was truly amazing. We shall say no more (for those who are yet to see Les Mis), except that the performance received a standing ovation to end a fantastic night!
