Youtube has disabled the embedding for this second video I want to share with you, so here is a link to another clip of the 2006 Proms final night conducted by my old friend Sir Mark Elder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ0oCmDXrVk
Food in London is great.Try St. John, J. Sheekey (the best seafood) and Just St. James (in early summer you have to have the Jersey gold potatoes and you will find Nutbourne Wine here).
