Catch Up Time!

What's on in Barnsley!

Well, plenty! Click on the link and check it out.

Tonight I am just back from rehearsal of a play that is to be performed in November, and guess what? I have a part. I have joined the local drama group in Birdwell, and it's such fun. It is wall to wall Carry on Comedy. Just up my street! I'm working on my Barnsley accent, it's not quite there tha knows. More field work require.

My latest poem went down well at the Poetry Circle meeting yesterday, and we now have a programme for our next Breeze Above Our Heads production in Bromley on 11th July. This time we have a good mix of music and words, with the emphasis on Summer. Aunt Martha has a tale to tell, as usual. And I'm sure the blow up doll we bought for the last show, will be making an appearance.

Since I last wrote this blog, the Nation has elected a new government, so now we have a totally Tory parliament. Will this affect my life in any way? Well, let's hope it does. Let's hope the country prospers, as is the plan, and we all have a bit more of the pie. I'm ever optimistic!

Game of Thrones has had me hooked on its weekly medieval soap of sex and violence, for the past month or more. I've even started to play the theme music on the cello. I don't think it is quite as good as when it first started, but I need by weekly fix. I love the northernness of it.

Meanwhile, David has taken to cultivating a few plants. He will have to buy a spade, though!

So, that's it for now, remember, never cast a clout till May is out. In other words, don't discard your vest just yet, there are sneaky winds about.

Love and hugs,

The Lost Soup, er!

Oh, silly, silly, me! I pressed the wrong button on my nw blender, and the bottom fell out of my jug. There is sloppy, green, soup all over the place. I'll not do that again!

On a brighter note, the cup cakes I made were a hit, and they have all gone.

Yesterday I did a tour of second hand furniture shops around Barnsley, with my daughter-in-law, Tracy. I found a bedding box at one, and a wardrobe at another. Both look like new, for half the price. David says the bedroom looks like a hotel, I think that's a compliment.

But it's doesn't look like this...


The Royal Suite - Imperial Hotel, Vienna.


Better look next time - and press the right button!
Ane now to sleep in my lovely new memory foam bed, perchance to dream of luxury hotels, and a top chef to make my soup. Have a good weekend dear reader.

Love Jane x
