Do you want to go to the seaside?

Do you want to go to the seaside?I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go - especially not in November!Hands up who got The Kooks reference?

Call me mad but there's something nice about going to the seaside - Even in the cold. So we huddled into the car and drove about an hours drive to be beside the sea. When we got there we went to get food and when you have sea and sand a stones throw away, it has to be fish and chips right? 

btw - We were having a debate, is gravy acceptable on chips? because I vote yes. Let me know in the comments your vote!

The one we went to, is one that we have been to before. It's called Trawlers Catch and it is brilliant. Inside it is full of Pirate items and all things under the sea -I need to stop these puns! hanging on walls and ceilings. The first time we went there they actually had Pirates of the Caribbean playing on a large Tv on the wall! - You don't get that at the local, not in our sleepy little town anyway! It even had phone chargers at every table! Very 2017. 

Once we'd munched down on dinner we then took little one to the arcades. We had lots of pennies that we had forgotten about so we took them with us, it was so much fun and we managed to bag lots of prizes!

2p machines are very underrated. Even at 24 and a mum, I think I probably enjoyed it most. The goodies we got were, a blue helicopter -(yes the colour is important when you're three), a red pick up truck, a red racing car, two fridge magnets, an avengers puzzle and a box of celebrations! Now can you see why I was excited? 

We all had ice cream, 2 blues ones and a brown one- Again through a three year old's eyes. I opted for a Mr Whippy with bubblegum sherbet and Ian voted mine the best!! - For those of you that know Ian know He hates admitting my choice is better haha. 

Even though it was cold and those that know me, know I should have been born in a HOT country as I can never warm up!! It was such a lovely family day! 

Wheres your favourite place near the sea?

I carried a watermelon?

Back in April, I went to the theatre and this was the first time in about 8 years! long overdue. My boyfriend had booked it as a surprise for me after he remembered I said I'd always wanted to see Dirty Dancing in theatre, as it is one of my favourites! (Major boyfriend points for taking note when I didn't even think he was listening ha!) With babysitter arranged (again by Ian) we headed to Milton Keynes theatre to watch Dirty Dancing.

Before we watched the show we went for dinner at TGI Fridays which was my first time there and I loved it! I would insert an Instagram worthy picture here but unfortunately I was too keen and demolished it. I will tell you i had the TGI hot dog with melted cheese and bacon bits on top and it was lovely!

So after dinner we headed about 100 yards to the theatre, waited in line for some refreshments and headed up to the theatre hall to find our seats.

The lights were turned off and the above picture was screened along with the opening song from the Dirty Dancing classic based in the 60's. It ran for around 2 hours and included an interval. I have to say I Absolutely loved it! The cast and crew had really studied the film and characters and just made me fall in love with the film even more!  They stuck to the story and I honestly loved it from start to finish!

 The Cast were really brilliant performers and made the show what it was. I honestly couldn't give it enough praise.

I have high praise for the Lady that played Penny she was an amazing dancer! just like the character in the film. Also for the lady who played Lise Houseman, she was great and added comedy to the show! I believe the show is still currently touring so be quick!

Would recommend to anyone wanting to go see a theatre show!

Let me know what shows you've seen/would love to see.
