Well I never!!
Who would have believed it!! But maybe I should start from the beginning!
A couple of weeks back whilst having lunch with a friend I discovered that we had both booked tickets to visit the Christmas Spectacular at Thursford. This takes place in what is basically an aircraft hanger in a remote field in North Norfolk. Stranger still we discovered that we were going on the same day! This Thursday whilst parking our car in the pitch black dark field at Thursford with 2000 other people, whose car should pull in beside us but our friends. Small world or what!!! This was not the first time that this has happened to us, as we have booked the same flights with adjoining seats to Amsterdam, and even found ourselves in a concert that was so overbooked that additional seats were added to the stage and once again we found ourselves looking at each other with the performers between us! Fancy that!!!
Anyway, we took our seats for the Thursford experience and my husband looking askance as a rather large lady squeezed into the seat beside him! Conversation revealed that not only did they (the lady and her husband) know the little village in Leicestershire where we live, but had actually lived there themselves and worked in the same Special Needs School as me!!! How about that!! Would you believe it!!
By the way, the Thursford musical Christmas experience was indeed Spectacular and an absolute delight. We smiled all the way through! :-)

Woweeee! What a lot of coincidences! Glad you enjoyed it. See many mechanical organs did you? :]
Hi Daydreamer
Well there was a huge Wurlitzer and a large fairground organ from Amsterdam, a city famous for it's mechanical organs!
There's nothing quite like a mechanical organ to get you warmed up on a winter's night ;-)
