Irene's 75th birthday party

PPAuntie Irene was 75 this week and had a birthday party to celebrate. 

Auntie Vie brought a picture of Grandad with Dad and Auntie Vie just after they moved to No 8 King George Street. 

Dick Whittington

Clara has several parts in the Deing Players panto this year: Fang, evil King Rats henchman, posh lady and the baker. This involves lots of running round the audience with the other rattlings, buying "toilet pepper" and "not" selling bread to Dick Whittington. 

Cam was in charge of the spot light; a responsibility he fulfilled very capably from the top of a tall tower at the back of the hall.

While enacting "that" scene from titanic, or was not something from the Messiah?!

Both did really well. More than I can say for

Most of the rest of the cast - this was a usual, local amateur pantomime. Great scenery and props, great fun, dubious acting, much forgetting of lines. Apparently Friday evening was the night to watch due to the large audience (over 100 people) who all got involved with the "he's behind you"s). Making a great atmosphere. Even the Prompt got a curtain call as she had as many lines as the cast!

Halloween

Halloween parkrun. 

Followed by trick or treating

and Nick and Lisa's annual party.

 

SPECTRE

While Clara went to Keira's for a sleepover, mum, dad and Cam went to see the new James Bond film 'Spectre'. It was awesome. Daniel Craig was well worth the £39 million he will earn; £25.6 million for acting and the rest for endorsements and the like. Wow. 

Half term

Clara has an extra week for half term. She had a day at the sea side with dad, grand dad and Alfie. It was REALLY cold. Then she had a day shopping with grandma. 

The 2nd week saw Cam n mum joining Clara at home with Alfie. Lots of walks as the weather was nice. Although the river was really high and we got very wet feet on one occasion and Alfie had a paddle. 

Cam had lots of revision to do as he has his mock GCSEs when he goes back to school. 

Autumn walk

Lovely autumn walk with Alfie
