I was embarrassed to see my typo "Potbelly" instead of Portobello, wonder where my mind was when I typed it. Pays to always read before you hit Send. I was actually thinking of Petticoat Lane, which I thought was antiques, so I appreciate the post from Sue that it is mainly a food market. Saves a trip there. We arrive in London on Saturday morning and have booked a champagne dinner package including a trip on the BA Eye in the evening as it will be our 39th wedding anniversary. Did think about going to the theatre but have visions of us both snoring away before the second act. I checked out Portobello Road on the web and see that there are three lace/fabric dealers there so maybe I can get DH to go there before we go to dinner. I will check out the other web sites sent by Liz and others as I have to fill my time on Monday. The V&A lace exhibit is still closed and the fan museum does not open on Mondays. Last time I was at Covent Garden I heard the musicians for about 2 minutes, they stopped, packed up, and a girl came around collecting cash. I chucked in some change and she was very rude to me! Thought it should have been more but I stood my ground. I may have another American with me on Monday so might have to do some of the usual tourist stuff. At least this trip I will be able to buy my wine gums which I missed getting last month on my return trip from France. Usually I stock up as the ones I can get round here are terrible. Janice
