who adds: "You may well ask "What connection does the town have with TE Lawrence?" to which I'll have to confess that this is a little homage to an lovely elderly gentleman I once knew well, who lived in Stamford, and who served with Lawrence of Arabia in WW1. I think both of them deserve a little memorial, don't you?"

    Eddie -

    Will you be conducting the now traditional and rather unique 'Train Blog'?

    Can you borrow a sat nav and let us know where you are en route?

    Thank you, Eddie, for posting that up - more for the lovely chap I referred to (now, sadly, dead), who I knew well and made a huge impression upon me. :o)

    And good luck tomorrow night at Stamford (and on Saturday, too, of course).

    Two questions:

    1. Where did my earlier comment on this thread go? Where I explained that I hadn't managed to get a ticket to AQ in my own town, on my other half's birthday??

    2. Why won't the blog remember my details any more?

    Fifi :o(((

    Molly (8) : I have had my name down for Returns since last Friday. In fact, I am top of the Returns list!

    Nothing doing.

    I'm not the sort to hang around stage doors, so I'll just try to forget about it and concentrate on making it a nice birthday for SO in other ways.

    You're quite right.

    Have a lovely day!

    ... and then I got a phone call from the Box Office:

    "How many tickets were you looking for?"

    * does very silly dance around the room *

    Am off to collect them now!

    (a very happy) Fifi :o)))

    Now, will you get to speak to the great man, I wonder?

    Oh, and Happy Birthday, Dave! You do realise that Fifi has prepared a lovely birthday treat, just with you in mind, don't you? ;o)
