We're so fortunate that Jane's brother lives in north London within easy striking distance of the city centre and he is a superb host so we stay overnight and have time to catch up with each other's lives.

We selected Jumpy because it featured <a title="Tamsin Greig" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamsin_Greig" target="_blank">Tamsin Greig</a> in the lead role. She's an actress who we both admire for her talent in playing comedy and serious roles apart from her long-standing role as Debbie in the Archers on Radio 4.

The play tells the story of the conflict of motherhood in the modern world, every mother is a daughter, and also the issues of a midlife crisis. Tamsin has the opportunity to use her acting talents an example of which is how she manages to act awkward and totally unsexy when dressed up in a provocative maid's uniform whilst later on turning on the sex and flirtation dressed in a drab wrap around dress. It was a great performance by all participants and once again we really enjoyed our trip to London.
