Beanstalk Christmas Meeting

Up early to catch the 9.15 train to Manchester with Alison for the Beanstalk Christmas meeting. Am so glad we went we had a talk from Michael McNulty an actor who you will know off the telly box. He was the baddie in Musketeers and been in other period dramas. He has started with Beanstalk and demonstrated how he read stories aloud and how fantastic it was.  He has them on youtube called books alive. His voices were superb and it was riveting listening. After lunch Alison and I had a wander around the Christmas market starting at the town hall then train home and would you believe it we met Michael on the train!!
Am off out to the cinema now to watch The Nutcracker danced live by the Royal Ballet. Meeting my friend Margaret for another meal. Getting my blip done earlier than usual.
