Tibits on a Sunny Afternoon

Thursday 11th Feb. Time to dig out the first of Stephen's Christmas experience tickets. After a birthday lunch with Julie at The Baraset, I picked up Stephen and we popped over to Warwick Parkway, headed for London. Really broke a few technological boundaries today. First I booked our train tickets, online naturally, but had them delivered to my phone as QR codes .... Next I used my Ringgo account to pay for the car park, whilst on a moving train .... And on arrival at Marylebone used my contactless debit card to swipe my way through the tube turnstiles! Not a piece of paper in sight so far. Google maps on 4G then helped us find our way to Tibits, a highly recommended veggie/vegan restaurant in Heddon Street, just off Regent Street, that I'd found online. Fascinating place, great atmosphere, and where all food is sold by weight! We enjoyed a fabulous early supper and then walked along Regent Street, through Piccadilly Circus, passing Eros looking magnificent against the night sky, to the Harold Pinter Theatre to revel in Sunny Afternoon. This biopic musical of The Kinks and the life story of Ray and Dave Davis was the perfect combination for Stephen and I, and a lot of fun. Quick dash back to Marylebone with 5 minutes to spare before our return journey and home by shortly after midnight. 
Lots of fun.
