Matilda...

 Last Saturday afternoon I treated Stu, my sister Jo and my niece Charlotte to a trip to the theatre and a slap up meal in London's glitzy West End. First we saw the wonderful Matilda at the Cambridge Theatre and then we had a booth at Balthazar.

The show was fab - just as good as we remembered it from our first time around - albeit with added kids in the audience. Any minor (sic) quibble we had wouldn't be so much with the kids themselves as with their parents and grand parents. They seemed to think that giving a running commentary of what was happening on stage was what their little brats needed. They didn't. And neither did we. 

Great songs though and the cast were excellent.
