Miss Christian and OQs Lauren Gunner and Georgina Walsh, were back at Covent Garden last month for the ballet, but on this occasion they were accompanied by Mhairi Bullock from PE, who had never been to a ballet before!

They attended the last performance of the season of Mayerling and Miss Christian commented it had been beautifully danced by Steven McRae and Akane Takada

With this being the second get together at the ballet this year, a plan for the evening seems to have emerged ..bottle of champagne at the bar and dinner throughout the evening (starter and main before curtain up, pudding at first interval, cheese and coffee at second interval!)  Another lovely evening!
