Les Misérables

A few weeks ago now we went to see Les Misérables at the Queens Theatre in London. We found the story very easy to pick up and magnetic from the start. You instantly bond with the characters and together with fantastic music, singing and slightly musty theatre you get drawn into the show. Or maybe it was the champagne?!

A must see show and has now been running 21 years. You were right Ruth, I was fighting back the tears at the end!

The Great North Run...

We've just got back from a fantastic weekend in Newcastle for the Great North Run which Helen took part in. The atmosphere was truly amazing and I have to say I was gutted not being able to take part. From the friendliness of the Jordies, spotting celebs, mingling with the elite athletes in our hotel and not forgetting the Red Arrows it felt like being part of one big family (all wearing tracksuits!)
