Toad is incarcerated in prison and Sally is trying to get him to cheer up. One of the many jobs done by our fine stage hands – being the station sign. Surely the train must be here by now? Poor Mole’s sporting a head injury after trying to defend Toad Hall against the weasels. And badger is [Continue]
The hedgehogs and Otter enjoy a meal at the home of the very generous badger – Ruth managed to do looking superior very well in this role (correcting the little hedgehogs speech) and as a PR girl and Clerk too. Jonathan had struggled to be heard in this scene without a microphone but managed very very well [Continue]
We are just back from the final performance everyone is a mix of exhilaration and exhaustion! Here are a few more pics from the matinee (haven’t had time to look at tonight’s piccies yet. “What do you get if you cross a picnic with stoats?” “A pic nicked!” Here are Ethel and Jeeves – [Continue]
Wow we started late because there was a queue of people waiting to get in. It was pretty much a full house. Once again the Learning Zone did us proud, the quality of the singing, dancing and acting did us proud – there was far more singing and dancing in this than anything else we’ve [Continue]

This week Friday was Sunday. We were busy on Sunday leading the service along with The Eternal Flame and then Martin was doing the PA for Gospel Choir, so we decided that we would make Friday our day of rest this week. A lazy morning was in order to begin with, late start and a [Continue]
We had a talk at church yesterday (Easter Sunday) which talked about how the disciples must have felt on Easter Saturday - the despair they must have felt at the centre of their lives being ripped away – but also that from our perspective we can look at Good Friday and Easter Saturday with the knowledge that Sunday’s coming [Continue]
