Blowing out the cobwebs . . .

. . . off to sunny Manchester to see "Billy Elliott" at the Royal Palace theatre!   It was absolutely fantastic !

The train journey through the Peak district with the mist frost and sunshine was magical in itself !!

Scheduling, thanks to Lynne, was like a well oiled machine - shopping in the Arndale centre / Turtle bay for lunch / Showtime / crossed the road to the station to meet the train that took us directly to Nottingham!! That's where it unravelled a bit as somehow two coins managed to get jammed in the ticket machine, violence didn't help . . . then when we got back the car it had a completely flat tyre!!!
