Back from the cinema opera live. It was great, the screen was huge and they showed the real stage just as it was happening, including the prop changes in the intervals. Flo would have liked that!. It was a little known opera, Francesca da Rimini, by the New York Met. Francesca has to marry one of three brothers. She and Paolo fell in love, but the brother the parents made her marry wasn't him, it was the one with the gammy leg. Anyway, it all ended in tragedy and death, as usual. They will be doing a great programme from next autumn, with Tosca, La Boheme, Prince Igor and others.
Then we went for a pizza at OH's favourite pizza place in a very old building with exposed stone walls, beams and a proper pizza oven.
It's pouring with rain now. It was nice this morning and we gardened, but it started to rain when we went out.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
You sound as if you had agreat time Liz. Our local cinema does the special viewings, my daughter and I plan to do a ballet, but never seem to get together at the right times (sigh
I know it isn't the same but I have been to a couple of singalong evenings at the theatre -the Wizard of Oz and The Sound of Music
There is a herb nursery in Cornwall that we visited a few years ago with the naughtiest statues in the garden that I have ever seen -much too naughty to put pics on here - when I saw them I blushed!!!
Going to Cornwall this year - OH would not approve
Going to visit my first NGS garden tomorrow, well sort of, Went to one where I lived before and couldn't see what was special about it, Definately didn't spend 45mins looking at the garden and found it very ordinary so was put off. i am assured, weather willing, that the one tomorrow is good

I hope you all had a good evening, so full of mine I didn't say anything about yours.
