Yes, it really is Fireman Sam live on stage - but there was much more to follow ...
... Yep, it's Barney the Dinosaur - who seems to have got at least one girl dancing excitedly on stage, and there's more ...
... Thomas the Tank Engine live - how do they manage that! And on the same evening, on another stage, we saw ...
... the Sesame Street characters and - if that wasn't enough - on the next evening there was a pantomime ...
... of Beauty and the Beast. Not too sure why this necessitated cupcakes, teapots and cups as hats but the audience liked it - and so did I.
This was, of course, all really for children and my VIP, small grandson Samuel, had a good time, though his three month old sister perhaps wasn't quite so impressed. Pantomimes seem to be a British thing and they are the first taste of the theatre for many children - and watching something live is always special.
Karin and I enjoyed our week in Minehead, Somerset. The sun shone for us. The sky was blue and we managed a couple of walks along a small part of the West Somerset Coastal Path.

... Bob the Builder was there too. Life doesn't get much better!

I love live performances and having the "excuse" to attend these types because of taking a grandson. :D
ReplyDeleteI've also noticed a lack of coincidences or synchronicity during family events or excursions. I think it's because there's nothing more important than that moment, and it is to be savored without distraction.
Interesting what you write about the lack of synchronicity during family events. Haven't realised this properly previously but I think you are right, must give this some more thought - thanks!
DeleteLucky you, I used to love Sesame Street so I'm quite envious :)
ReplyDeleteMy grandson't favourite is Fireman Sam, no doubt this will change as the months tick by.
DeleteBill and Ben the flowerpot men were my favourites when growing up in Oz.
ReplyDeleteNow I just see them as potheads running around yelling WEED !!! WEED !!!
at each other .-)
Ah yes remember Bill and Ben and Little Weed as well :)
DeleteI wondered about the teacups(etc) but my niece informs me to watch the movie!
ReplyDeleteThat metal beach sculpture is something else. Amazing! I'd love to have a postcard.
Thomas the Tank with Ringo... yep, lots of memories!!
I think it was party time, so the tea and cakes came out to play - as they do! Haven't seen the movie.
DeleteIf I'm that way again I'll see if I can get you a postcard of that sculpture.
Even Barney the purple dino! He was one of megan's favorites when she was Samuel's age. And Samuel is certainly cute!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know if all of these characters were known worldwide - good old Barney! Thanks for saying that about Samuel I think he's very special - but I'm a proud granddad so I suppose I would.
