Sharon is friend of mine from New Zealand. We go quite a long way back, to 1997 or so, and our relationship has survived some fairly torrid times mainly through our mutual interests in music and art (and maybe food). Sharon is over this way for a friend's wedding, but we caught up the other day. We grazed the National Gallery before crossing over to the South Bank to catch Shakespeare's Winter's Tale at the Globe Theatre. Wednesday was a beautiful, hot day. The stage overhang gave just enough shade for those of us in the £5 standing area. Great value, and highly recommended. As a "snapper-up of unconsidered trifles" I took a few photos; you can view them here.
How lovely to see
How lovely to see Shakespeare at the Globe - lucky you. Not very cool weather though for The Winter's Tale - unlike here, where the Lions have just been trounced by All Blacks in a truly wintery blast.
Once upon a time, Philip took on the role of King Leontes; the character somehow saved from his flaw becoming fatal, and the play turning irreversably tragic. I remember we had fun with Shakespeare at DC.
It's the season for weddings here too, with FS today contributing "Where e'er you go" by RR and "Hallelujah" chorus to nuptials presided over at Wesley by Ian L.
Hi to Sharon!
