...went to the Portobello Road Market! Great market. Lots of different stalls, some with gorgeous handmade items. The food smelled amazing and they even have live music on Saturday afternoons. We could have wandered for hours, it just keeps going and going and going!
...then we made a quick trip to the Victoria and Albert Museum. We would have had more time in the actual museum but we got distracted by all the nice things in the shop! We may have bought a few bits and pieces. We only saw part of the museum which included the amazing jewellery collection and the huge collection of silverware! Can you believe that many of the museums in London are free?!?!

...then after an afternoon of doing jobs we went to the West End to see Les Mis! It was the first time either of us had seen it on stage and we loved it! We had brilliant tickets in the second row, right in the middle - not bad for tickets we only purchased this afternoon!!
...after the show we walked back through the very busy Picadilly Circus which was filled with people, including the many, many German soccer fans! Apparently there was a big game today...

did you stand on your seat and feel the ire of a people downtrodden and shout for all you're worth "do you hear the people sing singing the song of angry men it is the music of a people who will not be slaves again.." Well... did you? Or were you entertained by the paucity of their meagre existence?
