Frank,

I do not live in London, but it is only just over an hour away on the train and I go up there fairly frequently - especially, if it coincides with a kiltie passing through!!!

If it can be an early evening meet up (late evening and I cannot get home again, such is our train service!), I'd be delighted to spend some time with you, but please let me know the precise dates as soon as you know them yourself. Planning anything that close to Christmas is usually a bit of a nightmare!

I'd advise your wife to get her theatre ticket booked ASAP as most West End theatres are fully booked at that time of year. For example, I recently saw 'Billy Elliot - The Musical' at a matinee performance and had to book the seats seven months ahead!!!
