Gala Christmas Gig

At last I have made time to write about my night out last Friday with Jan my lovely sister in law, and her daughter Liz my gorgeous niece....

We try to book a few nights at the Marina Theatre in Lowestoft, we see all sorts, but love the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra who are resident at the Theatre. This time it was the Gala Christmas Concert..

Afraid I cannot make it very interesting, but you can see what great music was played....

They started off with the Overture on French Carols...then Joy to the World....after which the audience and orchestra joined in with O Come All Ye Faithful. The Pakefield Singers were on the stage, although they were good, maybe not as good as the choir Liz used to sing in, suppose I should not say that......

Next came The Little Drummer Boy, then Still, Still, Still....

The Nutcracker`: Waltz of the Flowers was so lovely, such a great orchestra, and the conductor Nick Davies was really getting with it...

We then sang The First Nowell.. some great voices in the audience....followed by Winter Wonderland.. The Sleigh Ride...Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah.....Mary's Boy Child...and then we all sang Once in Royal David's City...

After the interval we started with Posthorn Galop, such a laugh they made that one, again audience sang God Rest you Merry Gentlemen...
Psalm 23... Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas.. Torches... The Twelve Day's of Christmas, which the audience had to sing from 5 Gold rings, it was so good because all Theatre goers join in all the time, and it was like a party...

Some of the songs were sung by a lovely lady called Mary Carew, and the next one she made a really good job of.. Santa Baby..very saucy...

Sleigh Ride came next, and the horns and bells etc were very moving... Robyn would have been proud of the French Horn players...Good King Wenceslas and White Christmas then we all joined in Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

Marvelous, they did get such a response that they played Jingle Bells as an extra little treat....

We are so lucky to have such a lovely Theatre so close to home, and a huge thank you as always to Jan for booking and driving us.. and for the ice cream and the many giggles we always seem to get when we are together....

And dear James when we took Liz home, he must think we are mad when we arrive home after a concert, but he copes very well, hope the feet did not get too cold James!!!!

Roll on the next time....

Friends

Just received this from a good friend.........who took this unbeknown to my dear friend Pat and I, I am sure you will be looking in Anthony, you got it in the end then!!!!!

We all met up and had a good reunion.. old photo's goodness, who were those thin young people in the pictures!!!!!

Not going to let it be so long before we meet again.... great memories.....

DIY CAKE

Apparently this was well received.....although the paint brush looks rather large!!!!!!

LUCKY ME

Today David has given and set up my Christmas present, my lovely new Apple Mac, well not completely new, but to me it is........and taken a photo of my posh new work station.........He has worked so hard to put all my bits and pieces on here, and a bonus is I have all his music.....just got to figure out how to use everything new ....will the old brain work it all out.....

Poor boy got a bit frustrated with a Mother who could not remember all the passwords etc, but all now written down......just forgot about posting my digi camera bits, so had to borrow the above photo from David!!!!!

My dear small apple mac is now stting in my bedroom ready for me to play my music......

So this silver surfer will be able to enjoy a nice big screen, when I have time in between making my cakes.......

Wave

This is what our lovely Southwold looked like when the surge came this way....but luckily the bad weather did not turn out to be bad as anticipated.....

I did not take the photo by the way....a friend just sent it and I thought it was so good....

Two posts in day...............

I am here!

Morning... just realized how long it is since I last posted.....

I am not entirely boring!!! have been busy with making cakes, and knitting.....also trying to get the garden in order for winter....luckily a friend is going to give me a helping hand with the garden next week..

The other reason for non posting is my old conservatory roof had to be replaced....luckily Dive and Full came and gave a hand to move furniture etc........at last it is done and no leaks now, and with the high winds we have had of late it feels safe....always thought the old one was going to blow over the fence!!!

Off to catch up on reading other peoples exciting blogs.....hope I can manage an interesting one soon!!!
