Snapshots of London with......

....with my new toy, a Sony digital SLR camera. We decided, a bit last minute, to take ourselves off to London for a long weekend.

So on to lastminute.com for theatre tickets. Managed to get some decent seats for our first choice, Sweet Charity. If you get the chance, don't hesitate it is one of the best musicals I have seen and Tamzin Outhwaite is brilliant.

We were staying at the Riverbank Park Plaza Hotel, and this was the view.....


And this is me practicing at being a bit arty farty...


We spent the best part of Saturday at Portobello Market and Nottinghill. Stars(?) spotted were Ben Fogle (from many animal programmes) and Ashley Jenson (Extras and Ugly Betty). And I am 99% sure it was Lilly Allen but hubby disagrees.
This shop window made me smile...


This is a trendy clothes shop in Portobello Road called All Saints, now we know where all the old sewing machines are!

Off now round the blogs to have a nosey at what I've missed while I was away.

My Mum had one of those singer sewing machines too that brings back happy memories. You had a fantastic view from your bedroom window, looks like you had a good weekend weather wise too.
