ysobelleBack at work. It's like I never left.
Found this: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=the+sultan%27s+elephant It's google video of The Sultan's Elephant. I hope it comes back to London next year, but alas, I'm pretty sure it won't. Also, I know Helen and Em&Redhead and Matt and Kat are interested in coming with me next time, but who else? Planning the next trip keeps me from mourning too much the end of this one. Whimper.
I put up my Tube map, and map of the V&A. Put some more photos on http://www.flickr.com/photos/ysobelle . More yet to come.
Whine, whine.

Nicki, meet Hans. Hans, Nicki.

I need an anglophile icon. And one for tea.
And your next trip? We'd be in, maybe...we'd planned on going next August anyway, so my husband can take UVA's Seminar at Oxford on all things Shakespeare.
Also, you're aware of the American Shakespeare Center in Staunton, VA, right, wherein they've built the replica of the Blackfriars and are in process of recreating the 1614 Globe? When they're done, they claim it will be the only place in the world where you can see Shakespeare as it was performed in his time. ~swooon~

Ysobelle and I went to college with Staunton's American Shakespeare Center's development director. As such, I've been to Blackfriars many times, and even sat in one of the Lords' Chairs for a couple performances. Being a groundling, or getting one of the seats actually on the stage is fun too though.

(Am woefully underedumacated on this one -- ask de
Already planning our trip for next year, but I think it'll be a mega-trip. The DH has never been to the UK despite his anglophilia, and I want him to do that UVA program at Oxford, so it'll probably be that for the first week and then traipsing about London and Edinburgh in turn thereafter. (I could spend YEARS in Edinburgh, I think. LOVE that city.)
