Swan Lake

I may just have the best husband ever.

Edward told me several several weeks ago to keep a certain evening free in my diary as he had a surprise.  I was extremely excited and fairly sure I'd find out in not too long as Edward is very bad at keeping secrets...or so I thought.  Wednesday night arrived and I still had no idea what the surprise was, just that I should wear something nice and that we would grab something to eat before it.  We met up with some friends and had supper at a very nice hotel on the Strand before leaping into a taxi to our mystery destination.  We passed Buckingham Palace and then Hyde Park and arrived at...The Royal Albert Hall!

I couldn't speak for several minutes when I discovered we were going to see...Swan Lake!

We were the second row from the stage and it was fantastic to be so close to the dancers.

 We watched Daria Klimentova dancing the role of Odette/Odile, and Vadim Muntagirov as Siegfried, with the English National Ballet.

     It was completely beautiful, amazing, fab and totally the best surprise ever.  I love ballet.

And Edward, obviously.
