    Not one for me today. I booked theatre tickets for November to take my Mum to see The Sound of Music 😁 
    @AuntieL

    I was looking for theatre tickets yesterday to take my mum to see The Souhd of Music! I didn’t find any so went for Mary Poppins in August instead (so no NSD for me either…but something tells me I could have tried harder to find Sound of Music!)
    @Thriftymissus Sound of Music is in Pitlochry Theatre. I live in the Highlands so it’s not too far for us to go. I saw Mary Poppins in London a couple of years ago. It was superb. I’m sure you and your Mum will love it.

    @cathybird Thank you! It was one of the first musicals she took me to see in London so it’ll also be a lovely trip down memory lane for us 🥰
