Powerful Weather Powerful Play..........

 
Well of course the grandchildren have outgrown Grandma's Halloween fun but there are still young children that live locally so we decorated the door and put a candle lit display in the front window so they knew they could knock. 

We filled a big bowl with chocolates and lollys. Hubby answered the door to one young girl and that was all, yes that was all the whole evening. Maybe it was the weather putting them off. Guess who's eating all the chocolates now? 

Had a lovely catchup lunch with friendsL&K. Serious family news from them but we always find things to laugh about too. Went to our favourite steak house and I had the ribs as always and so good, mmmmmm

The weather has been awful with high winds and very heavy rain. The second named storm hitting the UK within two weeks of each other. So many people have been flooded out of their homes and locally some roads flooded. I did send messages round and nobody I know has suffered thank goodness. Now hearing of so many organised firework displays being cancelled due to waterlogged fields and high winds forecast. 

Another evening dog sitting for Son and fiancé. First time they'd been to the Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich and they really liked it so will keep a close eye on their program in future too. 

I booked for six of us to see The Ungodly, a play by Red Rose Chain, and R is in it. 

Set on the Stour estuary in Mistley, East Anglia, The Ungodly explores the events which led to the terrifying witch hunts led by Mathew Hopkins, Witchfinder General in 1645. The play is inspired by new evidence suggesting that Hopkins’ own family tragedies were a catalyst for his reign of terror. It explores the reality of good people being drawn into a movement which persuades them to do terrible things and draws parallels with the polarised world we live in today.

Hubby was dog sitting (theatre is not his thing) for Son and fiancé and I went with them and met Daughter, O and my friendKK there. The cast of just four were perfect. The chemistry between them made it so real. The script was really powerful and especially knowing it was all based on well researched fact. It was delivered with such intense passion by them all. Amazing. 

I'll hit send on this now as we have another day of dog sitting, Daughter's this time, so have a good week and I hope you stay dry.
