My poor neglected Blog

I feel really bad for neglecting my poor blog, the only "excuses" I can offer are the long summer holidays where I never seemed to be at home, Top Hat (on stage) starting a new tour, to anyone in the UK who hasn't seen it I urge you to go! The two new leads Alan Burkitt and Charlotte Gooch are the best pair I have seen as Jerry and Dale on stage, not to mention Alan is the nearest I reckon that has been seen to Fred Astaire, he really is amazing!! I've now seen the show an awesome 31 times including a flying visit to Edinburgh at the weekend specially to see it. Anyone who knows me will know Top Hat is my favourite of Fred and Ginger's musicals so to love the stage show almost as much as i love the movie is something really special! As in go see ;) If anyone is in the UK and fancies a group outing please post here :-)

Happy 103rd Birthday Ginger!!!!

Happy Birthday Ginger may you forever rest in peace

Hard to believe that 3 years ago was in Independence for Ginger's centenary suffering in some serious heat (well it felt like serious heat until stopped in New Mexico the following morning!)
Feeling sad again that Nina (erosenplatt) is also no longer with us, it gets harder when Ginger/Fred related events occur :(

Anyway on a brighter note a few photos of our beautiful gal!

RIP Fred

27 years since Mr Astaire left his final footsteps on the sands of time, just a few photos to share some of his best moments

Happy 115th Birthday Fred Astaire
