London in Feb '10

I had the real fortune of going to London again 6th - 8th February. I was really looking forward to seeing not only James again, but meeting friends both old and new.

I was rooming with another Karen, lol, we ot on really brilliantly so we were both looking forward to a great weekend.

Firstly there was a concert on the Saturday evening (6th) it seemed short but then again when I had last seen James in concert there had been 2 support acts! Even that said he was on stage for 90 mins... just him and his guitar. :-) Then downstairs for a natter with some girls we were meeting.
The Sunday was an all day event, we arrived at The Tabernacle at 11.30am and were taken up to the concert hall in the lift and we (Myself and other disabled attendees) were just milling around on the balcony while all the others were getting seated. I had assumed that because the tables were arranged quite close together that we would be settled afterwards, but no, we were to have our photoshoots done first, so that we could be settled while the others were having theirs done. I think that James looked absolutely wonderful in the suit.
Then James and an actress red the play called "Love Letters" by A.R. Gurney. I was so moved by the play. Not many eyes in the room were dry. Then we had a short intermission before the stage talk/Q&A. He had changed into jeans and a t-shirt, and commented when asked why that he felt like a chimp in the suit! lol

The autographs were done then, I had my personalised one done on a picture I had bought the previous year at his gig at Union Chapel.
He also signed the first picture (as you saw above!). Then a 90 minute break to eat.

The evening was a concert, pretty much the same playlist as the night before, but obviously we were seated. Then back to the hotel. I could go into much more detail but I have said the bare bones of the weekend.

Anyway, I better leave this for today, and feed my little munchkins!!
