Leaving London

Back in London we got tickets to the play "Overheard" by Peter Ustinov, starring Ian Carmichael and Deborah Kerr. It was a delightful bit of fluff, and we enjoyed the theater itself almost as much. It was at the Royal Theater in Haymarket, built in 1821 - steep and elegant - full of mirrors, chandeliers, carved wood, brocade and gilt royal boxes - as a London theater ought to be.

The next day we went to Windsor Castle and caught Princess Margaret and her son and Princess Di coming out of St. George Chapel. After touring the castle apartments we stopped for a Devon tea - then back to London where we celebrated our last evening at a wonderful Hungarian resturant - complete with fantastic Gypsy violinists. The place was full of Hungarians singing along with the music. There was an older woman at the next table singing - a bit tearful and showing pictures of her old life in Hungary. The waiters were darling & we stayed until midnight. A suitable end to a delightful and successful trip.
