The Big Day…

… The theatre trip (RSC) which entailed setting off at dawn’s early light has happened.
There were lots of moments when I thought it wouldn’t, given rail strikes, extremely tight schedules with (four) different modes of transport, someone’s travel sickness and (the icing on the cake) snow. You couldn’t write it!

The show was wonderful (‘The Box of Delights’). I won’t say more in case I spoil it for anyone who might be going.
I had a lump in my throat owing to the (unexpected) music having special significance for me but hey! I ‘d have been emotional anyway. Stratford holds many memories and today we were sharing it for the first time with a new generation (something I’ve dreamed of doing for ages).

I’d love to think we shall do it again, but maybe we’ll wait for the travel stress to abate before we think about next year!
