Today Gryffin experienced her first live theater event – In the Night Garden Live. In the Night Garden is a kids show here on Cbeebies (children's BBC) that features Iggle Piggle and Upsy Daisy and a bunch of cuddly creatures who dance and run about and generally do all the things that enthrall 1-2 year-olds. It was worth the expense and the 90 minute commute to see her riveted and so excited that she was beside herself. It was a hoot for us a well and it definitely felt like a rite of passage for all three of us. We went a little nuts on the merchandise because it's all stuff we can't get in the states. So that was our great London experience for the day...fun with Makka Pakka and the Tombliboos.
On the way there Stacey stopped at the very nice coffehouse at our nearest train station, Browns of Brockley, and had a surprisingly delicious lamb and hummous sandwich. For dinner we had our last meal at our local fish and chips joint, which has excellent fresh fish, perfectly fried, as well as a beautiful whole grilled sea bass covered in tasty herbs. The chips leave a lot to be desired, but what can you do. Their homemade tartar sauce is the best I have ever tasted and the owner is a very nice man who always greets us on the street. So yes, I thought on the walk home, there are quite a few things we will miss even though at that very moment. I was cringing at the noise of the traffic and sirens on our “high street”. So now off to bed, only 5 more days to go.
