Wednesday 17th October, Broadway Theatre, Catford.
The journey to London last night was not such a bad one, apart from a detour around the Birmingham area which Jenni kindly routed. Problems on the M6 caused this one, but adding only 20 minutes to our journey wasn't too bad after all. We stay in London City Airport Travelodge, which happens to have a bar and restaurant, and it would be wrong of course not to utilise the facilities provided for us. Meeting point the bar, and a good couple of hours chat before sloping off to bed.
Although relatively new to us, Catford is becoming a favourite. Expecting almost 700 in the audience we are still the second best selling matinee show there, beaten only by Val Doonican. One of these days Mr Doonican we are going to beat your ticket sales.
Back to having props on stage means a full get in, but with a round of bacon sarni's to keep us going, the world is not a bad place.
The show goes like a dream, and soon we are sitting in the local Chinese Cafe looking at the noodle menu. The portions are so big that even Steve (two bellies) struggles to finish off some very tasty food indeed.
Just an hours drive to Gatwick tonight, and so with Chinese food in belly we depart for our final show tomorrow. Arriving at the hotel is a nice surprise, as they also have a bar. For the boys this is a bonus as the England v France match is on TV tonight. Boys in the bar, and when the girls find out, they join the party. Jen and Marie being almost tea total, skip the bar and watch 'The Apprentice' instead. England get beaten 2-0 but at least it occupied a few hours and gave the boys something to curse about.
