Wednesday 28th December

So we wend our merry way up t'north today, starting off fairly early on the road to Staffordshire. We arrived late morning and had a quick bite before heading off to the New Vic Theatre to watch Alice in Wonderland. It was an odd telling of the story being set in the first place on a canal boat, and with the theatre being in the round, it added a completely new dimension to it. I rather enjoyed it, though our massed party seemed to have differing views. The lead playing Alice had a broad potteries accent which I rather loved, and the Jaberwock which was powered by a mobility scooter was in my opinion a small work of genius. All in all a lovey trip out, and a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. We headed back to Ma and Pa in laws for dinner, and then said goodbye to Sister and Brother in law no.1. We then settled down for an evening of wine and gossip.
