The 4th annual London trip saw us meeting in Yo sushi at Paddington Station. (Never knowingly underfed are we?!) BJ had been a clever girl and got us bed and breakfast for only 5quid more than the travel lodge and cheap tickets to see Buddy. Our first port of call was the Wellington Pub on the Strand.The very same one that Wendy and I had partaken of a few years earlier.We managed a fair amount of tucker and two bottles, yes two, of wine between the two of us. Yaki , the Spanish waiter, was very attentive until he realised that he was utterly alone and having to serve food to the 5000 at which point he threw a hissy fit. We managed to calm him and make him laugh...is there no end to our talent?.......and he carried on with the puddings.
Rolling back to the hotel for a quick rest (well. somethings got to give!) and back to the Wellington for pre theatre drinkies. BJ disappointed me here.I had lined up two double g and ts and ended up drinking both.Its a hard job but someones gotta do it! She maintains that she had trouble with her tummy, I think shes just so much of a light weight on the drinks front
that she couldnt handle it.(I know she'll read this!)
The Bader -Meinhofs had been giving her some trouble , so she did very well.
Buddy was sublime and we sang ourselves hoarse as well as all the way back to the hotel to flake out till brekkie.
Another massive feed in luxurious surroundings , a walk over Waterloo bridge and along the South Bank and we found ourselves at the cafe in the South Bank Centre, stuffing our faces again. Ahhh, another year 
over. Roll on next year!
over. Roll on next year!Good company, good food and loadsa laughs, what more do you need?
