Since our accident last year I haven't had any time away with DD. We would normally have had a few days away with her Auntie in October, but obviously due to circumstances at home we weren't able to. So, for my birthday in January DD had bought us tickets to go and see the musical Wicked in Liverpool on Saturday 31st March, and we had decided to stay overnight in Liverpool to make it a nice weekend. And to make it a more relaxing weekend we decided to get the train, rather than drive.
So, Saturday lunchtime we caught the train to Liverpool and checked in to our hotel which was just across the road from the train station. We had a couple of hours to spare before our meal, which was booked for 6pm, so we wandered down to the theatre to see where we needed to get to.
We did a bit of shopping (or rather, DD did some shopping), before wandering down for our meal which DD had also booked for us. We both had grilled halloumi to start with...
...and then I had a salad which delicious.
And then off to our seats. Now I don’t like heights at all but had told DD that the seats she’d got for us would probably be fine - upstairs, lower circle. I though I’d be ok. However, as we went up the stairs and turned on to the walkway between the upper and lower circle it became very clear just how steep these seats were. And we were only four rows from the edge! I nearly didn’t make it to them. DD went in front to see where they were, and I slowly made my way down to them. And sat down. And stayed there for the whole time! To say I was scared is an understatement, and even DD was a bit nervous of where we were sat. But the view of the stage was incredible. We were almost in the centre looking down on everything.
The performance was outstanding and we both really enjoyed it. Admittedly we didn’t move even during the interval, but those seats were excellent. And we enjoyed it so much that we’ve talked of going to see it again later in the year! And have now booked tickets to go and see another musical in a few months.
It was lovely having a night away. Poor DH had to cope with Titch for the night .....
(Yes, I know, a really tough job ....). DH picked us up from the station yesterday, and after a quick lunch I took DD home.
And today we’ve been out to get more bits for the house. For the spare room this time to get that finished off. There’s not much to do really, but it all takes time.
Then it’s back to work tomorrow. Back to normal with early starts. At least it’s only a short week ......
