London Cable Cars

London has a brand new attraction that's bound to take you up, up and away.
 The Emirates Cable Cars !!!

The new attraction opened in June 2012, just in time for the Olympics. It crosses the Thames at Greenwich Peninsula to the Royal Docks and has great views of the City and The O2 Arena.

A single fare is £4.30 and with an oystercard its £3.20.

The journey time is only 5 minutes but its a great, unique way to see the city!

Enjoy and dont forget to bring your camera !!!

Chariots of Fire at the Gielgud Theatre

"Adapted from the legendary Oscar-winning movie, this spectacular and ingenious retelling of Eric Liddell's and Harold Abrahams' quest to become the fastest men on earth is an electrifying and immensely moving tale of two men's rivalry, and their unwavering determination to conquer the world in the face of prejudice, immovable beliefs and overwhelming odds."

Yesterday I had the pleasure of watching "Chariots of Fire" at the Gielgud Theatre. And while I was there I got to fufill a life time ambition, by sitting on a West End stage, the audience is split with some seats being on the stage to make it feel like a stadium and I managed to get a seat in the front row!!

The set is incredible with a revolve in the middle where all of the action happened. The running was incredible, with the actors dashing off the revolve around the auditorium! I  was exhausted just watching them!

The acting was flawless and the set changes seamless, and being so close to the action was just wonderful!
Jack Lowden and James McArdle were incredible as Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams, supported by an amazing cast. The cast were ultra talented, not only were they great actors, singers (yes there were a few songs thrown in for good measure) and dancers. They could also play musical instruments, my personal favourite was the cymbal player he was hilarious!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I went, but I absolutely loved the show, the story fits in perfectly at the moment as the Olympics are just around the corner and the end of the show is incredible with the change from Old to New.

Well worth a watch! Just a little note though if you are sitting "Stadium Side" as I was then there is no food or drink allowed to your seats and make sure you don't wear a dress!! I was petrified that the rest of the theatre could see my knickers!

Lots of Love J x

Rule Britannia.

There is no better time to wear the red, white and blue look than this year. What with the Olympics and the Queen's Jubilee, it really is a year to be proud of being British.

Here are my best finds for the perfect Britannia look. 

 

Tesco - £28 (also available in Blue)  

This jacket from Tesco's is perfect for adding that British feel to an outfit. I'm teaming mine with a blue and white polka dot dress that I got from Dorothy Perkins. You could even team it with jeans and a white vest top for a casual look.
