I took my daughter Sophie and a friend to see Beauty and the Beast at South Hill Park on Friday evening. What a truly magical experience it was! If you're looking for something just a bit different, with a fantastical quality to it, then look no further. If you've ever seen Gifford's Circus, you'll know the sort of thing I mean. Fabulous costumes and set and a very traditional feel to it. No pop songs or sweets thrown into the audience, but catchy tunes, beautifully sung. The three leading ladies had particularly strong voices.What's more, we discovered that Sophie's drama teacher from Hurst Lodge School in Ascot, Bart Lee, wrote the script and lyrics.Congratulations to him and the whole of the team.
I'd also like to thank the cleaner who found my wallet - credit card, driver's licence, cash etc, on the floor of the theatre. I had a phone call at 8.15am the next morning to tell me it had been found - and I didn't even know I'd lost it, thank goodness! Isn't it lovely to know that there are still honest people around!? Thank you so much to the cleaner who handed it in.
Went for a walk with the family in Windsor Great Park yesterday afternoon. Parts of the lake were still frozen and the moon was shining on the water at 4pm. A truly unforgettable site.
