According to our guide on the Doctor Who locations tour, we associate London with the colour red thanks to these kinds of phone boxes (tho' they don't usually have giraffes in 'em), the old postal boxes, double decker buses and Tube signs. They use a lot of red props when they shoot 'London' scenes in Cardiff.
On Saturday 7/7/12, we went into real London for a couple of surprises for Ayesha. First there was this...
 |
| The Barmy Britain Stage Show |
 |
| Ssshhh, we took a naughty photo of the stage |
 |
| Matilda the Musical |
Sets were amazing, actors were amazing, everything was amazing. Tim Minchin is a genius songwriter - the perfect person to adapt Roald Dahl's work. Any musical that includes 'front bottom' in a song has got to be good!
We also spent some time exploring family history in Soho...
 |
| Shop with a name common in Dad's (Howie's) family- they were tailors too |
 |
| Place where census records show Dad's (Howie's) family - the Bierman side living in 1881 |
Oh that show of Mathilda sounds awesome I love Minchin - you're making me homesick!
