Good morning, all, from a fine, dry Torbay.
Our journey back went well, despite a few squally showers. Unfortunately, circumstances led us to take our lunch break at Bridgwater Services, which hasn’t improved over the years! One to avoid due to its awkward arrangements for parking and difficult access to facilities.
Following the success of the ballet, this was written by the Chair and founder on EYB's Facebook Profile:-
Miss Lewis' Message - Swan Lake in Stoke:-
“I was bowled over by the standard of performance that the Stoke on Trent cast achieved for their Swan Lake performances last week 23rd 24thSeptember. All three performances were consistent and were received with cheers at the curtain calls at the end of each show. EYB had a wonderful three days in Stoke where theatre staff, hotel staff, parents and the people in Stoke were very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic about our visit. The atmosphere in the theatre prior to curtain-up at each performance was electric and excitement was obvious.
The cast rose to the occasion with confidence and with each dancer living their role in the ballet. The Swans corps de ballet work was impressive with the Cygnets dancing in perfect time…………….. What is most rewarding for the EYB teachers is to see the children improve their ballet technique and ‘blossom’ in front of us over the period of time they work with us.
Congratulations to the Swan Lake cast in Stoke on Trent!”
My DGD was one of the Cygnets, so my pride is beyond measure!
I hope your MIL is now more comfortable, SunshineSally and you have a safe journey home, Oopsadaisy. What a wonderfully generous gesture you've made to help the convalescent, grandMattie! Christianity in action.
Take care, everyone! ?????
