The Most Matilda Weekend
Ever since the movie version of “Matilda: The Musical” came out earlier this year, Eva has been kind of obsessed with it. So for her birthday, I promised to take her and CousinZ to the theatre show. It was only … Continue reading
Christmas in Covent Garden – 08/12/18

Labor Day Review
If you read my last post, you’ll know that I was off to far-West London on the District Line, having deposited the children, tired and full of sugar, on Nathan at London Bridge. The freedom was exhilarating. For a while … Continue reading
Christmas in London 2013
