We've had a bit of a cultural weekend. We went to see Whistle Down the Wind at the theatre on Friday. It was a really good production and after a shaky first five minutes when I thought "Oh God, what have I done" we really enjoyed it. The only downside is that I'm now singing "No matter what" constantly....
And last night...well, last night was FANTASTIC! We went to see Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra. It was a picnic concert at Eastnor Castle and we managed to get a pretty decent spot close to the front. Being England everyone was leaving loads of space in between, but having learned our lessons well at Wolftrap where every square inch of grass had a picnic blanket on it, we squeezed into one of the enormous gaps in a most un-British way.
The support acts were great. Our enjoyment of Kris Buckle was slightly marred by some folks rolling out of the hospitality tent to come chat with their friends behind. I say chat. I mean shriek, scream and yell. I had to actually physically restrain Stephen who was ready to leap up and have a word.
Jools and his Orchestra were awesome! So were his special guests Ruby Turner and Alison Moyet. What amazing voices! And Alison Moyet is looking amazing. She has lost loads of weight and is HOT! We had a great time and boogie-woogied the evening away.
We are destined to spend huge amounts of time in our car at the moment. It took a while to get into the Deer Park, and it took even longer to get out! We could see all the cars inching their way out along the road, like Apaches lining the hills, and decided to have a mini picnic in the car before even thinking about trying to join the queue. When it finally began to move we were funnelled off in a different direction and were able to join a shorter queue of traffic. Unfortunately it took us out a different way and there were a few moments of "where the hell are we and which way do we go". Fortunately Stephen suddenly recognised where we were, announcing "This road takes us to Welland" which I scoffed at as Welland is the other side of the hills from Eastnor...He was right..of course!! I'm glad it all worked out, coz otherwise we could still be sitting in the queue to get home!
