Hi Steve & Karsten Great photos as always, particularly the close-ups. I had forgotten that rouge lipstick was the order of the day and that all the girls wore it! Very festive. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif Did anyone get the name of the girl bass player? I don't think it was Matt Round as per programme.  Martin |

Hello again everybody! I must clear up a couple of points that Grant mentioned. If I remember correctly, Peter told Hayley that he felt like a country bumpkin in his wellies, so I chipped in by saying that he would turn into a pumpkin at midnight. It is the pantomime season after all!  Richard  Interestingly Hayley observed that in NZ they still call them gumboots, which used to be how we called them in the UK. Generally speaking that term now refers to the heavier style more rigid black boots. 'Wellies' is of course the abbreviation for Wellington, named after the Duke of, who was so appalled at the inadequacy of his men's footwear in the conditions in which they were required to fight that he equipped his entire regiment with them at his own personal cost. Hunters, the name of the original green wellie which now has competitors, started the green look by designing a boot with more flexibility in the heel. Blue is the next more common colour. I certainly would not have attempted London in a gum boot but in Hunters, I was not at all uncomfortable and thank goodness I did. I said the platforms were two inches deep in snow but did not advise the High Street was four inches deep in slush. On top of which the High Street at half-past eleven that night was a continual stream of traffic. Not until the national news the next day did I learn (as I had then guessed) that the main trunk road by-pass was closed because of the conditions. The High Street further incommoded by parked cars of local residents unable to get up the hills. Peter S. |

Hi Puss Peter in Boots! As it's Christmas I wouldn't dream of mentioning that the discussion into the derivation of winter boots is edging on being off topic. Bah Humbug! Happy Christmas everyone! Martin |

Hi Grant Having thanked Steve and Karsten for their concert photos it is now your turn. So, thanks! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifSeriously though, you have all been able to capture a radiant Hayley and despite the niggling throat that evening, I personally think that Hayley looked in really good spirits and very happy. Cheers Martin |

Hello again everyone I agree Martin, Hayley was in very high spirits on Monday - no doubt she had been worried that her cold may have upset things which it obviously didn't and she was able to end her year on a high as she had hoped. Here are a few more pics. which I think prove it!  May have a few more for you over Christmas Best wishes Grant |
