Today, Mummy, Daddy, Nanna, Great-Nanna, Grumps and I went to Gullivers in Matlock Bath. I had already been there with Grandma and Grandad, but I didn't mind going again as it is such fun! While we were there we did loads of fun things, I had 2 goes on the 'lilliput loco' train ride, 3 goes on the 'dino cars', a ride on the 'lazy river', a play in the ball pit, panned for gold, went on the 'gullivers travels' ride and loads more things besides! We also had a lovely dinner in one of the resturants that had loads of models up around the walls that moved, told a story and sang songs - I was really fascinated by them which was good, though did distract me from my dinner a little bit! When we were about to leave the park at about closing time, we saw the 'Gully mice' doing some dancing which we watched and I joined in a bit, and so did Mummy! (Though she may not admit to doing so herself!)
After Gullivers, Mummy and Daddy droped me off at Grandma and Grandad's for the night as they were going to see the show which was the G&S Opera company's 'Yeomen' directed by Jeff Clarke who also directs one of Mummy's favourite companys, Opera Della Luna.
Mummy and Daddy said that they really enjoyed the show and that they are tempted to buy the DVD as they would love to see it again as there were so many little touches that they are sure they missed some of them! They thought the set was very different but liked it, especially the use of the red curtain coming down to create the Lieutenant's quarters/another room. They also thought that Colonel Fairfax reminded them a bit of 'Blackadder' and Wilfred reminded them a bit of 'Baldrick'! :) Another comment that Mummy gave was that she really did enjoy it and get into it and was in tears at the end when Jack point 'falls insensible', but then found the spell broken when she realised, (as he was falling) that he was going to fall in the path of the curtain, and she couldn't help but have a slight snigger at that despite herself! (She was proved right as it did hit his leg, and she hopes he wasn't hurt as that curtain is very heavy!)
All in all a great day and a Fantastic show, which Nanna, Great-Nanna and Grumps said was a perfect end to their time in Buxton.
