and Winnie the Pooh.

I met you, Giles, in Leicester Station this past weekend, seeing you at the Curve Theatre.

It was a birthday gift from my son, Jack, who was with me.

We had a brilliant couple of hours listening to you and all your stories.

I love listening to Rosebud.

You always ask the questions I want the answers to.

Looking forward to listening to many more.

Well, there will be many more, Evelyn.

Or maybe it's Ev for short.

Actually, you put Evelyn pronounced Ev, not Eve.

So maybe Ev is what they call you.

Anyway, I do now actually remember our encounter in Leicester.

It's quite strange, the Curve Theatre at Leicester.

It's a lovely theatre.

It's a modern theatre.

But disarmingly, at the end of the performance, literally the walls of the theatre lift up into the roof of the theatre, and suddenly the audience is able to walk across the stage to the exit with the actors.

So you can't disappear into a dressing room.

You're there with the 800,000 people who are in the show.

So we were slightly overwhelmed.

So apologies if we were rushing through the crowd, because actually we were trying to get through the crowd to get to the station, which isn't that far.
