This week, I’ve been loving…
Fairy lights
Unless you’ve been asleep
under a rock or something, you won’t have failed to realise that Christmas is
almost here! And with Christmas comes fairy lights – on the tree, on front of
the house, wrapped round banisters and just about anywhere else. Pretty twinkly
lights never fail to make me feel festive, so I’ve enjoyed seeing them as I
drive round our little town. I’m serious considering getting myself some fairy
lights to decorate my bedroom all year round!
Stephen Ward The Musical
My youngest brother works
for a sound company in London’s West End, installing sound systems for all the
big shows. As a perk of the job he is sometimes offered free tickets to shows, and
this week he was given two tickets for Stephen Ward The Musical and kindly took
me along to it. We were both a bit uncertain what to expect, as we weren’t
familiar with the story (the musical is based on a true story, with Stephen
Ward being at the centre of the Profumo scandal). However, we were pleasantly
surprised. It was a really interesting story, performed to a really high
standard, with great music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It’s not a show for the
younger audience, as parts of it are quite risqué, but if you like a good story
and catchy music I’d really recommend going along to see it.
Christmas Films
You can’t go through the
festive period without watching a few Christmas films, but this year it’s taken
me a while to find the time to relax under a blanket and enjoy one or two
films. I have a little tradition where I buy myself a new Christmas DVD each
year, and this year I’ve actually treated myself to two – Nativity 2 and The
Polar Express. I watched The Polar Express yesterday and absolutely loved it,
and will be watching Nativity 2 with my youngest sister in the next week or so.
If you asked me to pick my
favourite Christmas film, I’m not sure I could, as there are so many good ones
out there! But a few I have to make sure I watch every year are Miracle on 34th
Street, Love Actually, The Holiday, Elf, Nativity and The Snowman.
What has grabbed your attention this
week? I love hearing about people’s new discoveries and you may end up sharing
something that makes it onto my list next week!
