Busy weekend

Cake stall
Saturday's cake stall raised £77 and a few smiles.  Liz H turned up in period costume to promote our forthcoming production of "Jug" and was last seen heading down the High Street in full attire and into Tanners Wine Merchants.  She is really getting into the part!
Thank you to all bakers, makers and servers.
It is lovely how people stop to talk.  Some spend time chatting whilst deciding between the cakes on offer, others give you their life story and explain why they can not indulge.  Real life is right here.  None of this virtual stuff for me.

"Surprises"
Having said that, Maureen, Pat and I went to Stoke's New Vic Theatre to see Alan Ayckbourn's latest production, "Surprises".  Set in the near future, 50 years and 100 years ahead it was very sci fi, with time travel and virtual experiences with avatars.  Well crafted and performed  There is nothing quite like live theatre.

Music and musicians
My better half and I had the pleasure of hosting a couple of musicians at the weekend, one a violinist from Shrobenhausen over with the Twinning group and the other a trombonist from Luton here to play in the jazz festival.  With everything else that was on I missed out on seeing either perform, but hubby took in three of the jazz sessions at various pubs and was buzzing.
