St Catherine's Docks

A boat on St Catherine's Docks

Kinky Boots

A great trip out to the Adelphi to see "Kinky Boots". In case it was truly appalling, we drew up bingo cards to keep us occupied.......but they were not really needed, as it was both cheesy and kitsch!

Adelphi


Walked over Waterloo bridge  to the Adelphi, a small Art Deco Theatre on the Strand


Canyons and Skulls

More Georgia O'Keeffe's skull paintings......

Pelvis Landscapes



Quite liked Georgia O'Keeffe's strange landscape paintings viewed through holes in pelvis bones......

The Switch House

London Bingo

Kinky Boots Bingo in event of boredom.....neither of us won and we were most disappointed that "Girls Just Wanna have Fun" wasn't featured in the show

Nell Gwynn's Back Alley

An innuendo-laden trip up Nell Gwynne Passage before our thespian outing. ("Kinky Boots" at the Adelphi.....)

Expect Only Flowers?

Magdale Stump

I cycle past a bit of tree trunk art so stopped to have a look- it's based on the water wheel and mills that used to be down in Magdale....

Elephant Hawk Moth

Found on the door of Honley High School, my drawing does not do justice to the beautiful pink and green colour scheme of this moth, which I'm told is an Elephant Hawk Moth....
