Keane are one of our favorite bands and when they announced one of their first tours to London in February we quickly snapped up tickets. The show was at the O2 arena which is huge and this was our first time there. The O2 has a cinema and rides and a lot of restaurants, all of which were packed. We arrived fairly early and were in in time to see the two support bands. The first one was a crazy Swedish band, the music was certainly different and reminded me of when I was a kid and use to pull all the pots and pans out of mums cupboard and use a wooden spoon and whatever else was handy to make a drum set!!
The second band was a band called Frankmusic - they were definitely an improvement on the previous one and actually quite good. Next up was Keane, however it was at this stage where Deb realised that her eyesight was getting worse as the band members appeared as fuzzy dots on the stage. Luckily we were there mostly for the music which was so this was not a huge problem.
Our 3rd Christmas in London is fast approaching and it's times like these that we miss being close to family. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and for those of who may think we are getting in early - its almost November!!
We have planned another trip this year and have decided to head somewhere slightly warmer and tour around Spain and Italy. We are really looking forward to seeing the sights and having a nice (long) time off work.
We have been busy this year, with Debbie going to Africa for 6 weeks (that blog post is still being written) and other various trips around Europe we have enjoyed our time here.
We have just recently had friends over from Australia and we love to have people come and stay so if your over our way let us know.
