Sunday, I went for a walk and met the most wonderful couple, the Williamses, who were planting window boxes at their son's house. Great faces.
Monday I passed a church with a sign for a harp concert at 1 PM, so after the Kensington Roof Gardens, I returned to the church and listened to a young harpist perform for an hour.
Monday night was the theatre experience of a lifetime, seeing 'Billy Elliot', music by Elton John, based on the 2000 movie of the same name. The story of a young boy who finds out that all he wants to do is dance, set in 1984 against the backgroup of the Thatcherite assault on the coal miners way of life. Terrific.
Tuesday night, dinner with the Kenny family at Lundum's Cafe Bar, a wonderful Danish restaurant. That part of South Kensington at one time was settled by the Danes, and this restaurant serves only Danish food at lunch, and continental at dinner.
Wednesday, my last full day in London, I just walked and looked. I went to Covent Garden, to a British pub for traditional British food (OK, done that, not doing it again!). I ran across this group of schoolgirls in the theatre district going to 'The Lion King'.
