Garlic Theatre presents Shoe Kangaroo and the Big Bad Boot

Garlic Theatre came with an amazing puppet show. They travel all over Britain and the World with their show. The puppets were all made out of shoes. Their flyer says 'Truly Funny and Captivating ...a holy fool of a performer' and it's not wrong! Very clever though.

John Harris

Next time John comes to play the piano will be carols on Christmas Eve. (Now where did we put the Carol Sheets?). We avoided any Christmas songs this time and enjoyed a wide variety of old favourites. John had also learned a bit of Chopin for Magda.

Happy Birthday Iris

Last year for Iris' Birthday we had an Elvis look - alike. This year we had Jayne Martyn as ABBA. She has a very good voice and dressed up in the glamour gear too. It was great fun and good for dancing and singing along too.
