A trip to Bridgenorth

Another trip the Bridgenorth.
Bradley Manor the train

As we are now near the very big shed and I'm acting a bit sneaky, they get the willies put up them thinking they're going to get told off any minute. As it was I merely decline an offer of a guided tour from the friendly staff.

At the pub always nice pix (and beer)

We go the the Kinnersley Arms in Leighton as often as we can which means once a month if we're lucky. It's a 5 mile drive. Started going there on my way back home from fishing (November 2003). Just after Bradley was born, and numerous occasions since:
esme does hand stand in pub

Esme does a handstand in the pub. This is as high as she gets, and holds it for 2 or 3 seconds
brad does hand stand in pub

Bradley doesn't hold it for so long, but they both get applause from Amanda and me. The rest of the pub ignores them

We stopped for a mean in the Kynersley arms
cheesey smile of bradley in the pub

What a winning smiler Bradley is
esme the princess in pub with tiara

She takes a good picture
esme wears tiara to the pub a princess

Am I embarrassed? Nah! Everybody laughs with her, or rather they are too polite and bow gracefully
brad sits to watch pool players at the table only they drink beer

He waits patiently but they take far too lang at the bar and this bores Bradley the audience of one

The Sleeping Beauty Pantomime

Oakengates Theatre
And a great time was had by all. Bradley was a little scared of the nasty fairy, kept saying, "tell me when this bit is finished, Dad!" And hiding is face in the back of the seat. Them pulling it back to peep through under his arm.

We went with some friends of Amanda' sister, Amanda was to go but had to drop at the last minute, so as a stand in I was very pleased. Even if the main 'Buttons' character was quite camp and some of the jokes fairly risque. On the weekends apparently they are—for the parents. In the weekdays for the schools he's... well I can only guess.

pantomine stage set before start

Esme had been before, with the school so felt ever so confident there, even if she kept telling me what was happening and what was about to happen
