With songs I have sung for a thousand years

Deedee and I went to see stage adaption of The Sound of Music tonite - soooo fun. The movie version I think I could watch scene for scene in my head, I've seen it so many times, so it was really enjoyable (if jarring) to see done a little differently.

Jason and I saw Spamalot a few weeks back and in a couple weeks, my work girls and I are going to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. So I'm doing pretty well, I think!

I sang Sound of Music songs the whole way home, so I'm thinking I probably got them stuck in people's heads who could hear me, and probably by tomorrow, all of London will be singing Climb Every Mountain all day long.

Saw this in Central London the other day!

Blackheath Village

I've been going to Greenwich Market every Sunday, and a couple weeks ago started going to Blackheath Village immediately thereafter. It's a quick bus trip from Greenwich and then just a short walk down a hill to get back to my house from Blackheath.

It's a lovely little quaint area and feels particularly fall-ish. I could sit on this street and watch the passers-by for hours.

This church is situated on the large heath (as they like to call big patches of land) in Blackheath and I can see the steeple from my house.

Oh boy, what a wonderful city!

I'm loving the chance to familiarize myself with London. There's lots to explore but it took me awhile to get settled in the first place, so I'm still working on getting my major bearings, as far as where things are in relation to each other, how to get from one place to another, what's in walking distance, etc.


I spent some time on Saturday near the amazing St. Paul's Cathedral and walking down Fleet Street. A few days earlier my friend Seana had taken me to "Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese", a pub REBUILT in 1667. It's right out of Charles Dickes, just like almost everything in London.
















This is St. Bride's Church, also on Fleet Street. "Legend has it" that wedding cakes are tiered to look like the steeple. I'm doubtful.
