An evening at the Opera

---

My friend Lynda and I took ourselves off to leeds to see Sophie and watch an Opera North production. We called in on Lynda's mum on the way, and heard about the "olden days" when she used to work in the Arcade next to the theatre, making fur coats. Small world. Anyway, we arrived in time for lunch, spent the afternoon wandering the city and saw "the escape from the Serraille", which we thoroughly enjoyed.

yes, she has a nice flat in an old victorian house. its a single flat. She had 2 rooms in her old flat, but when Victoria left for London, sophie couldn't afford it alone, and she and Victoria got on so well, sher didn't want to spoil the memory with a new flat share. I think!!!!
