Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang, Lion King & X-Factor

Suzie has been getting out and about to see the events she was given tickets to as Christmas presents.

First it was Chitty at the Nottingham Theatre Royal - written up at the time so I'll not say more than it was an experiance Sue & Mark recommend to anybody who likes to be entertained. Tickets are around £35 - expensive but worth it.

Next up, Sue & Carole took a mid-week day trip last week to London to see Lion King at the Adelphi Theatre in Covent Garden. A good day out apart from the freezing cold weather on the day. Lion King was good but surprisingly, not up to the standards set by Chitty.

Then this week Andy drove the two of them down to the NEC Arena to see X-Factor. Not my cup of tea but they enjoyed it. Heavy snow meant delays getting there and the organisers (to their credit) postponed the start of the show by half an hour, so arriving late they only missed the very first number as they took their seats. And they thoroughly enjoyed the show. The trip home was better that the one there as the conditions were much worse in the Birmingham area which meant things improved the further they got from the venue and closer to home.
