Wicked Weekend

It was the  second part of Sis's chrissie pressie (did Strictly Live in Glasgow earlier in the year) this weekend it was Wicked in Bristol.

Escaping Munchkins :)
Map to the Emerald City
















A sort of adult type pantomime noir it was a solid production with strong leads 'Gravity' being the memorable number.

Sis was due back on the 10am from Gloucester but due to a terminal jumper on the line north of Bristol all trains were cancelled, no one knew for how long and no replacement bus service. Jean had a connection in Brum in an hour and a half so we grabbed her + a goerdie couple trying to get back to Newcastle, bundled them and suitcases into the back of the car n headed for the M5. The motorway was unusually clear n got there in under an hour. Almost got to the station but all the roads had been dug up due to the Bullring revamp so disgorged passengers and luggage and they ran the last few hundred yards to New Street. Jean made her train with about 5 mins :) Good deed for the day done :)

M and I returned to continue our planned day of walking the daffodil woods at Kemply (the first of the three daffy weekends in the Golden Triangle). Lovely wander but despite a fairly mild winter the daffs were not as far on as last year though there were still many pleasing clumps of gold and catkins on the walk.

















... and some of our own home grown
