Return of the "Guest Blogger", this time talking about Savoy, Sex, and the Sunshine Boys.

That's right all, the Guest Blogger is back.  Now that I have your attention, I must be honest.  It should just read Savoy and The Sunshine Boys, but I knew "Sex" would get your attention.  So here it goes.  We went out on the town on Saturday night (21 July), and decided to do it up right.  Got a little dressed up, and then we were off on our way to the Savoy.  It was a pleasant evening weather wise, so we were able to enjoy a bit of summer clothing.


First stop at the Savoy Hotel was the American Bar where we had a cocktail prior to dinner. 

 El Diablo Cocktail

Dinner that night was at the River Restaurant, also in the Savoy Hotel, just on the North bank of the Thames River in London.  Service was excellent, and we really enjoyed ourselves.

 Grilled Salmon on a bed of spinach, served with grilled fennel and a shrimp ravioli

 Roast Pork with Asparagus, grilled onions, and risotto

 Raspberry puree with a yummy creme brulee type thing (it was good).

Cheese Tray for me.

After dinner (and desert) it was off to the Savoy Theatre for the main event, the Sunshine Boys with Danny DeVito and Richard Griffiths.



 Third Row center in the Dress Circle (nice seats).
 Glass of wine at intermission, in the American Airlines Bar.
After the curtain came down (actually before the showing).  No photos during the show.

All in all, it was a wonderful evening out.  This was our second show this week, as we had gone and seen Agatha Christie's, Mousetrap earlier in the week.  It was fun to get somewhat dressed up, enjoy a nice meal with someone I cherish, and laugh for over 2 hours during a really good show.  One more show coming up next weekend, but more on that one later.

  1. Ooh la la! Who's the cool chick in that first photo? You're actually getting younger and younger! Who does that without surgery? And, is that a mini skirt she dons?

    Fantastic! London does agree with you Heidi! :-)
