London last week day three

Today will all ways be remembered by us as a WOW day. It started of very normal. Had a bit of a Sunday sleep in and once up and about Andrew Bex and ourselves decided to go to the local Kennington fair being held in a small park with many trees. This was lovely with live music, stalls of lots of home made goodies, local restaurants who sponsored the fair had stalls that were cooking food. The whole thing had a lovely feel about it. Then we walked along to one of the many local pubs for a couple of ciders and to do a bit of people watching. Before we knew it the time was 3pm so wondered home and Steven fell asleep on the couch. Hard work but some one has to do it.
Gemma and Chris had organized a surprise night out for the four of us and we had no idea what it was going to be. We had organized to meet up with them at South Kensington at 6:30pm, to dress up a bit and that was all we had been told.
After a shake from Sheree to wake Steven up from the couch to get ready to go, we were on the tube and on our way. Chris and Gemma meet up with us and bought a few snacks and then started walking down the street. We still had no idea what was about to happen. We arrived out side the Royal College of Music and Gemma said that this is where we are going……well sort of she said as she pointed across the road to ‘The Royal Albert Hall’ and said that is really where we are going. The show we were about to see was called the Carmina Burana this was over 1400 people all singing together as a choir. They were all from separate choirs from all over the world and had come together for this night with the accompaniment of a full orchestra. But if that was not enough we also had seats in OUR OWN PRIVATE BOX just above where the Queen normally sits when she comes to any of the events. WOW WOW WOW here we are sitting in a box at the Royal Albert Hall. This is a real, pinch your self to check it’s real moment, and I have to say we felt very emotional. Gemma had been given the tickets for her birthday by a lady who runs the trust that owns the box and had decided to share it with us. Unfortunately there where only four seats in the box so Andrew and Bex could not come but were happy to forgo that so we could.
The music the choirs and everything about the evening was absolutely stunning. It was one of the best times we have ever experienced and will remember it very fondly for the rest of our lives. Play the video on the web site, it is skin tingling stuff and we were right there. We are so blessed.
On the way home we had something to eat at a nice place that did pita breads with all you can eat salads.
