A very full week!

Cheryl was with me for the week and there were a number of events that happily occurred this week. Firstly a concert by Rumer which was delightful with some lovely songs. She was so much better than when we saw her several months ago. Relaxed with the audience and a reason for each song she sang. Tuesday was Legally Blonde and that was a fantastic show. Dynamic plays it down. Great singing dancing and some OTT cameo,parts that almost stole the show. Wednesday brought Beverley Knight to Nottingham. Another fabulous performance which required 5 different costumes!! She certainly gave it her all and got a lot of response from the audience who were on their feet. Saturday was Bellowhead when we started on our feet. Cheryl insisted on standing tickets and we were able to jump around to the folk-rock music. Again the band knew how to treat their audience and we knew how to react. I don't think I would get CDs of Bellowhead or Beverley Knight but I would most certainly go to see them again as first class live performers. There were two art exhibitions. I always like to visit Nottingham Contemporary. I am very pleased it is there and free and I have seen school groups there which is wonderful. However I don't always like what I see and do indulge in a little rant. Also on this full week was a magnificent Lowry exhibition at the Djanogley Gallery. That was something wonderful and great credit to Nottingham. We managed a couple of walks, around the Trent and at Attenborough Nature Reserve where we sat in the sun, outside the visitor's centre, peeling off layers....in late November! We also has a couple of meals out, one at Jamie Oliver's newish restaurant, and got through 5 bottles of wine at home! Yes, it was a full week.
