Going out

 Thursday evening we saw Elton John by candlelight, in our newly opened venue, which is now much bigger and very comfortable, (our council with partners knocked the old small building down) hubby who is 6'2" had plenty of leg room and the seats were a great size. Looking at the local site, where they link you to a ticket supplier, there are loads of great shows coming up. We even took the bus in and home, it's only 15 minutes from our house.

 There were 4 singers, one woman, all preformed wonderfully, giving everyone a really good night. This company have had shows across the world and are very polished, most of the songs they sang true to the original, a couple they jazzed up, my only small negative was the lady got a bit screechy on the higher notes. They encouraged us to dance and singalong, just a fantastic night.

I have been very slow to get back to going out, the pub does not call to me, I rarely drink these days, most of our friends don't socialize so much, we have chatted about using the new venue, hubby got these tickets because I was not able to see Elton John in his farewell tour, cost and distance put me off. We will again start to go to midweek afternoon films, the cinema of our choice is by the big marina, so a nice walk is always added to the visit. 

The sad side to this wonderful venue is our local Ashcroft centre will close at the end of the year, it's where we have taken craft courses, sadly most have been cancelled this year, we have seen shows but the seating is old without much leg room. I should expect the building to be sold as it's in a prime location for flats, it's an old school, we will have to wait and see. 

On the funny side, a few days after we last had lunch at our favourite seaside restaurant it burnt to the ground (now being rebuilt), a few days after visiting Spain they had huge floods, should we warn the venue last night to expect a swarm of locust, or just wait and hope.
