Of cygnets and summer

To steal a line from Harper Lee - Summer is my most glorious season. It may not be officially summer, but I have that elated, glowing feeling that only happens when the temperatures start to soar and picnics followed by frozen yogurt are common occurrences.

So, I am a happy girl these days - mostly because my wandering minstrel has returned.
Here we are in style at ... Barney's...after his graduation and Eric being his regal self in the Festival's costume warehouse:



If you didn't know, he has been touring with Basia Bulat - you can buy the cd online now from overseas, but it'll be out here eventually I'm sure.

Ok....work is crazy like always, but being steeped in the theatre world brings rewards with the challenges. You may have seen some leaks about the 2008 season, and while of course I cannot comment it promises to be extremely exciting should they be true.
From the last show of opening week at the Avon theatre:


Eric and I have been exploring the river running paths of late, and I have to tell you it can be mighty hard not to slow down for this kind of scenery (photo by a patient Eric):



So I as enjoy my first two completely free days in some time (and my new Wii), I hope you enjoy yours.
