February 2025

February not a lot good about it. But did get first break of the year with 4 days a Potters 5 Lakes. I go mainly for the theatre which is very good, the theatre at 5 Lakes is far better than Hopton no pillars to look around and no bad seating all have good view.

They do put a lot of effort into these shows but do get a bit samee. First night all about theatre and good to see and some updated with new content. Born in the USA is again the same as last year but very good. Last was a mixture of this and that didn't for me work especially when they introduced unnecessary comedy into routines why mess with the Irish dancing. But that's just me. Again, some see the shows as sometime to chat WHY, do don't at a west end show why here, grrrr.

But the unexpected highlight was Kev Orkian a Comedian who plays the piano brilliant, especially when he played classics in the theme of Queen, Elton John and more.

All these are very good and yes almost West End but not. No theatre experience no theatre buzz but plenty of others chatting. Plus does rely heavily on video backdrop for effects, again good, but you cannot beat a bit of stage props stage scenery. Food again was far too much I'm not a 4 meal a day person. So done finished and will be back next year. Next Lochs and Glens Scotland.

Home again and guess what again I have a cough cold and no energy bring back normal, but suppose now its a new normal being part of the 1 kidney Club. Need some warmer weather feeling the cold this year. Depressing looking out the window cold wet damp.
