This morning I found a picture I took over Summer in the Botanical Gardens. Everything seems to be in season now and once again, despite starting the year with my own patch of land to grow things on, I end the year without it. This will not happen again! All contributions of wellingtons and other containers will be greatfully received and this time my garden will be portable.




Another play last night - outdoors in Fife in October. Some would say this was foolhardy but it turned out to be a very good idea indeed. Two short plays by Alan Ayckbourn meaning minimal set was required and the audience just about escaped hypothermia. The piece was funny and the outdoor garden setting meant it was all about the dialogue, which as usual with Ayckbourn was witty and comic but above all realistic. Acting was excellent and understated. In fact all in all the production has been quiet and quick in being set up - 3 weeks from audition to performance and hardly any fuss. Well executed, well acted, well done.
