The Royal Albert Hall

Never ever, EVER book tickets for a gig in London without checking half term dates or the long range weather forecast. I have never seen so many people in the capital or got so wet!

I had started out a couple of hours early and thought I might have a look at the poppies at the Tower Of London. I wanted to travel there by bus because I always use the tube to get around but you miss a lot that way. I found my bus stop and waited, and waited. That's when the rain started. Eventually the bus came. After about half an hour I realised we still had a long way to go and I wouldn't have time to get there, see anything and get back in time. I got off, found the nearest tube and returned to the albert hall with only about 10 minutes to spare.

Saw Danny Bryant (great blues guitarist), Dr Feelgood and Elvis Costello. All good acts but I probably enjoyed Danny Bryant the most as I am a blues girl at heart.
