'Back to Broadway' touring musical and Donnys Stubbington (2nd visit)

Funny old week this week. Had a trip up to Reading last Sunday to see the touring show Back to Broadway. The main reason for going was as my friends daughter, Rachel was in it, but it was thoroughly worth going. Excellent show if you like musicals.Check out the website - as they are touring all over the UK. They performed 25 different songs from Les Miserables, Wicked to Mamma Mia. And Rachel was the best performer by far!

Been raining/very windy (in case you are hibernating and missed it..!) this week, so did not want to venture too far due to fallen trees, floods etc.(though nothing nearly as bad as the poor souls in Somerset, Surrey and the West Country).

Never seen the water reservoir on the farm so high

Tree blown down blocking my road!

Windy weather doesn't stop Pol and Peg chasing the deer

We decided to visit Donnys  in Stubbington again. Went on Wednesday this week as I was working at the weekend. Unfortunately - not as good for breakfast as our previous visit. Last time we had waffles/pancakes, so both went for the 'village' breakfast this week.

2 'village' breakfasts. With very dry toast

I had a cinnamon latte (luke warm - Grrr) and Margaret had a white coffee (ok -but in a cup and saucer so quite small). £16.... to be honest it was not worth it.

 

The main food itself was ok, but the toast was cold and the butter solid. Some other customers had eggs benedict that looked good - but quite pricey.

Jake and Jessie have had a quiet week due to the weather, as they would drown in the puddles!

Best place during storms..

 

Too many sticks for Jake to chose from to chew

Mitzi has been busy guarding them from the scarey 90 mph winds...

Polly did a wonderful job convincing my great niece and great nephew (the middle one is fine) that dogs are not scarey. She is an old softie bless her.

 Peggy and I  braved the elements at Holly Hill Park during the week.

High lake level at Holly Hill

Bit too high for some bridges

Oops - hope no squashed ducks

 

 The main paths were relatively fine, but the weather has definitely raised the water levels.. Ducks seemed happy enough. 

Very loud 'new' waterfall

Hope you have all had a good week. Hope to venture further afield next weekend....keep warm and dry! x
