November's WOMAN OF THE MONTH is an opera fan liere, NAOMI PADFIELD taTh.S• all about tonight's perform- ance.
"Well, it was a performance! You see, we decided to come the BEACONSFIELD way and then the NI40.. but the FOG was just GHASTLY! Traffic really wasn't too bad until sort of Northolt- iSh.,. then it was almost GRINDING STANDSTILL ail the way in... Couldn't see a SAUSAGE.. and we both said "Oh LORD!"
And then/ had a brilliant idea! I said to Philip,"Let's have our NOSEBAG now, while we crawl along!'" So, we sat in the nose-to-tail and had our opera supper -.Marks and SParleS Sandwiches—TUNA, and vERYGOOn too! You see, I always come pre- pared NOW, because Philip's tummy is the absolute END! You should've heard it all the way through Cost fan tune ...WHOLE ARiAs: Poor man! The people sitting next to us...my dear, if looks could KILL!
Any, - way , it was nigh on Sevenish, when we got as Far as Marylebone Road.. I mean, LONDON TRAFFIC!! But dear Philip managed some very CLEVER-CLOGS Stuff...all round the BACK PASSAGES ...and, d'you know, we made the Foyer by QUARTER PAST! Even found a parking place in Lincoln's Inn! I think that was BRILLIANT—VERY welt done! But what a perform- ance!!
The opera? Oh, that was quite some perFOrmance, too! VERY well done... . :Peter Grimes:!.. Frightfully good Fog effects ...speaking of which, think it's HomE,JAMES! No, We're not staying to Feed our Faces...I think it's The Strand Forms...Strand, Knightsbridge ...Cromwell Road...then shoot up the M4...I think thett our
best bet ..
