I'm not obsessing..... honest :D

As I mentioned earlier it would have been Mum and Dad's 59th today. I popped in to see him today.

They left Roydon at 5pm after the buffet to go to Clacton (their B&B was by the gasometer I believe). He said that at nine o'clock they had fish and chips along the front "it cost 2 and 9".

I just roared with laughter my father can remember the price 59 years later but he had forgot I was late home yesterday when I had told him at lunchtime and the previous day!!!!!

Anyway those photos from Sunday.

I believe this is a duffer!! Look at the building at the back

This is using the same software BUT with a different option.

This is with paint (how I used to reduce them)

Are any of these better? or acceptable? I have my views :D

Mum her last moments of freedom :D Mum never knew her father without white hair

A west end Garden and a Classical Concert

I was meeting up with Trish to attend a concert at the Wigmore Hall this morning (the Wigmore does a series of Sunday morning concerts at 11:30).

I suggested we get there early and visit the excellent Phoenix Garden in London's theatre land.

The Dominion Tottenham Court Road

The Phoenix Garden

A walk through Soho Square.

Some attractive buildings.

And after a drink at McDonald's on to the Wigmore Hall

The Concert was by the Michaelangelo Quartet at London's excellent Wigmore Hall

The programme was

Beethoven
String Quartet in C Op.59 No. 3 "Razumovsky"

Dvorak
String Quartet in F Op. 96 "American"

It was very good. Next one is not until end of September!!

Afterward's we indulged in a Pizza Trish unable to finish. I wonder why...

I hope the pics are a better size today!
