In the last weekend of July had an awesome
night in Cheltenham tasting the local brew. The local beer and cider festival
is held in a very old barn in the country. Enjoyed some very tasty, if not
rather strong cider!
Last weekend Fi was here, squeezed in a
weekend of London tourism. Went to the Globe Theatre to see Anne Boleyn on
Saturday. A more modern production, brilliantly done, amazing acting and set.
Bit tiring after standing in the pit for 2 ½ hrs, but well worth it!
Showed Fi some of the London sights and then enjoyed the local Windsor Castle. Gorgeous grounds and ornate inner state rooms. With a very
impressive Knights of the Garter Hall. Went to the evensong service, and the organ and singing of the choir was beautiful! Amazing church inside too, with some rather famous people under the floor boards. Wednesday night continued our cultural
education and saw ‘The Phantom of the Opera’. Amazing production – singing and
stage were incredible!
So next weekend it’s off to Wales for a
road trip with Fi and Todd, before Fi’s off home. And then Todd and I are off
south ourselves – home sweet home, here I come! x
