Jersey Boys!

You'll be pleased to hear that this birthday treat was undertaken fully clothed!

One of the wishes on my 'To Do' list was a London Theatre weekend and so John had arranged, without my knowledge, tickets for Jersey Boys and a hotel and even overnights for the kids at his Mums! (Well done babe! Thanks Mam!)

I had seen an interview on GMTV briefly when the production first opened and immediately decided that it would be fab to see it!

The Jersey Boys tells the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and I have to say that the music was fabulous! We were all clapping and singing along and one lady bopped her way through most of the production regardless of anyone sitting around her (this wasn't me I might add!)

The show was at the Prince Edward theatre in Old Compton Street in the heart of Soho. I've never been to Soho before ... so thought I'd better have a look around!

Well you can't go somewhere like that and not explore can you??

It was fab!

It was so busy - people everywhere and everyone dressed in their own way! So many colours and styles and hats and scarves and bags and shoes on girls and guys! It was great!

I'm keen not to offend anyone but being from 'the sticks' it took a few moments to get used to being surrounded by so many openly gay guys! So many good looking blokes in one place - unbelieveable!! I've never known John to hold my hand quite so tightly!

At one point I was aiming to squeeze through a gap between some mopeds and had to hang back behind a couple of guys who paused to share a moment - then a minute later I looked sideways to check the traffic before crossing the road and caught myself blushing at a couple kissing beside me!

Shame on me - live and let live has always been my motto!

China Town wasn't far and one of the nearby streets was strung with lanterns - it looked great! The shops were full of fresh produce and we found an amazing cake shop too! The restaurants smelled fantastic - even though we had already eaten by this point (Pizza Hut - don't ask!).

Anyway, what with the shows and the shops (!) and China Town and of course the guys, what a weekend! I wish we could do it more often!

I wonder what else I can add to my list ...
