A Christmas doorway 

Covent Garden Christmas tree

 Swan Lake was magical. The whole day has been stored in my forever memories. We had a wonderful lunch in the restaurant - slightly spoilt by the couple at the table next door to us who moaned constantly and eventually left half way through without paying. 

Swan Lake is so beautiful - the scenery was amazing and the costumes exquisite. The music is so clever with the haunting themes running through.

We had our pudding in the first interval which was really lovely. We were ready for it then. My pudding was a Swan Lake meringue which tasted even more delicious than it looked. 

When we came out of the Opera House Covent Garden was sparkling - all dressed up in its Christmas finery! A perfect end to a perfect day.

Today Church and restful day before another busy week.
