A Passion for Kendal

After months of planning and preparing today was finally the day when the first part of Kendal Community Theatre's A Passion for Kendal took place. My children and I were cast as non-speaking disciples but we appeared at the fringe of several scenes. If you check the official blog you can see if you can spot us! 


I rarely publish my children's faces on here but I wanted to share some photographs of us as a family of amateur thespians:

Ready for our first scene

We are looking forward to more tomorrow for part 2 at the Castle from 7.

John Crane's granddad joined in the fun!

Family Fun: Brockhole

This morning I asked the children what they wanted to do, go to Brockhole they said. Having heard the forecast and looked out the window I agreed this was a great idea. One hour later they were finally suitably dressed and we headed off.


A quick stop at the shop for snacks and cash was required and we pulled up in the car park. Just to confuse me they have changed the parking system. To reduce the number of people getting away without paying for tickets they now have numberplate recognition. You have to enter your numberplate into the meter and then put in your money. It was £5 for four hours which is the only compulsory cost of a visit.


For all our visits the first stop has to be the fantastic Adventure Playground:

We had been sent a John Crane Ltd Grandad this week so we took him along with us to enjoy the fun. Here he is enjoying a go on the swing:
