Yes Angela, you were right. I am having a play while hubby is drilling holes and putting new blinds up for my step son:)

Christine2 Report 6 Apr 2007 17:30

Oh, apparently the blinds are now up and I have to get changed as we are going to an Italian place for a meal:) I'll leave you with one. This is in one of my favourite holiday places. It may be a theatre but if you turned it upside down you would have a couple of splendid plant pots:)))))))))))

Good morning I was thinking about Chrissie's in bed last night - think she's got us stumped! Yours must be Rochester, Dee? Angela

Dee the Bibliomaniac Report 7 Apr 2007 11:01

Hi Angela, I was really looking for Chatham, but as it all blends into one these days with Rochester, and is called the Medway Towns, I will let you have that one ;-)) His Dad worked in Chatham Dockyard and this month sees the opening of Dickens World in the old Dockyard. I've entered a competition in a bid to be one of the first people to visit the new attraction Dee ;-))

Well, I'm back. The meal and the company were lovely:)) Yes Dee, it was Muswell Hill but I think someone had already got it. Do you need a clue to my plantpot one? Because if you had seen this theatre you would know exactly what I'm talking about.

Chrisie I have seen this theatre just last week and I can't remember where. It must have been in Somerset or Devon, was it Barnstaple? Am I near Janet

Christine2 Report 7 Apr 2007 18:02

Barnstaple is close - it is in North Devon and right next to the sea:)
