Bridport for fish and chips

We had a little bit of spare time yesterday, so we went for a lovely ride on our Spyder to Bridport for fish and chips for lunch.  Also, I wanted to find out if I could take some photos riding as pillion passenger, so I don't have to ask Richard to slow down or stop along the way.  I think I did pretty good.

Billy Elliot the Musical

I finally go to use my Christmas gift from Crystal and Gerrard.  It was a ticket to see Billy Elliot the Musical.  I went along with Crystal to see the musical, and it was totally amazing.  We both really enjoyed the performance.  It was awesome.

The last time I went to the theatre was with Crystal and we saw Kinky Boots.

At the end of the show, they were handing out advertisements for Billy Elliot.

Outside the Princess Theatre with the Billy Elliot signs.

This is the Billy Elliot sign at the West End in London.  The show ran from 2005 for eleven years to 2016 and 4,600 performances.  Thank you Google for the trivia.

The photo is from the Examiner Newspaper article about the musical.

Part of the story about Billy Elliot in the Examiner Newspaper.

This is the stage for the performance.  The black and white 

pictures was like a newsreel and changed it was about 

Maggie Thatcher and the miners strike of 1984 -85, 

which is when Billy Elliot is set.

These photos are from the souvenir brochure as I wasn't 

permitted to take photos during the performance.

Thank you Crystal, I had a lovely time at the theatre.

St Patrick's Day Festival - Westbury

We spent a lovely morning at Westbury for the St Patrick's Day Festival.  As always there is lots of things to see, plenty of craft stalls, food vans, guinness to drink and entertainment.

We arrived at 10.30ish and the festivities had already begun.  Unfortunately we missed the young Irish Dancers, they were all walking around in their beautiful outfits, but had already had their performances.

Lovely Clydesdale horses and carriage.
