Been to see "Gypsy" at the Savoy recently, with Imelda Staunton, I thought I would not enjoy it (more a drama/comedy man). Wow! was I wrong. An amazing performance from Ms Staunton, and the cast. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to take a trip to the Savoy Theatre in London. The Italian restaurant across the Strand, Salieri's, has a good pre-performance menu. Good to hear from two of my cousins this weekend. Met Hugh and his wife, Kate, in Barnard Castle, County Durham, on Saturday, and had an e-mail from Jane in Devon yesterday. Great to have contact with them all.
For the first time in this technological age, I am writing a blog, a new departure from the norm, and the chance to pass on my thoughts about this website. I have been working on this for about two years, and is a history of my grandparents and their careers in entertainment. It has introduced me to so much, the value of the internet, a return to the theatre, meeting other enthusiasts, and much more. And so it begins....... oh and by the way, the website seems to be being read by a number of people, thanks for your interest.
