Well, we did , what we call, 'Le Show' -altho' posters call it «Suzette Forever» - after a gap of quite a few months... & we remembered all the moves (including quick changes) and the myriads of french text...
...and we were in Olonne-sur-mer, which with fantastic logic is just a bit further away from the sea than Sables d'Olonne.
Wonderful!
Snow beset our Paris debut of Le Show a few years back (when it was so heavy on both sides of La Manche that only I managed to catch the correct Eurostar) - this time it just meant that all Eurostars went v.slow, so we felt as if we were on trains on Saturday and Monday all day!
On the way to the coast, we stayed on Saturday, at our French agent's (Bertrand Henrion) place & were delighted to see his wife, and meet their wonderful little boy... who decided that our breakfast was best accompanied by his doing a Tour de table (many, many laps) in the kitchen on his wee tricycle... what a sweetheart...
...then we rushed off, as the show was in the afternoon...
As ever, in France, everything seemed to revolve around when we would eat! ...and what is wrong with that!
For those who have yet to see this thing (we have another one in April!), we have lots of costumes (I have a lovely pair of orange overalls, as created by our Swiss friend, Silvan), swings to swing on, more props than usual and even (dare I mention it!)... ACTING! Devised by French thespian and all-round intellectual, Hubert Drac - it is a whirlwind of a thing that lasts about 85 minutes...
...and it was splendid... apart from the travelling which did rather drag on....
