The kids were really disappointed with Nancy in Oliver .... she was not a glamorous girl but she did have a good voice. We have got a local theatre and we have been there quite a bit. We recently saw My Fair Lady, which was really nice. Also we saw Jacqueline Wilson there, who writes a lot of children's books. She was giving a talk about her life and the books she had written. She is only tiny, with short grey hair and big glasses and it was a wonder she could lift her arms to gesticulate (big word eh for a Sunday) because she had so many chunky rings on every finger and so many bracelets. She would be a mugger's dream as I bet they were all worth a bit. We also went to singalonga Soundamusic there, which was great fun and the children dressed up, Rosie as a nun and Matthew as a brown paper package tied up in string. I'll have to post the photos on (when I learn how to do it!!). One of my nephews and his wife (early 30s) are into local dramatics and they have had some good shows, we have gone to Sutton to see them perform and really enjoyed Fiddler on the Roof and Annie. <br>Glad to see you had a wonderful time last night at the old homestead!<br>Thanks for mentioning me in your journal.

Loved the pictures of the apple press and the Morris dancing. It was nice to see the young boy taking part with the men, and good to know that the traditions will be passed onto the next generation Linda. Hope the tough policy works with your troublesome class.

You did make me laugh as I thought it was just me that balked at having to sit through Amateur operatic versions of Gilbert and Sullivan! It is the same everywhere old gents and fat ladies playing young virile men and virgins! I am afraid I get out of it nowadays as I find it embarrassing. I know I am a snob but when I can see pros doing it in london I cannot but laugh at the feeble efoorts of the amateurs!!
