The sun shone. The traffic queued to Stevenage A1 roundabout. Until 8.30. And then we were off, singing along to the entire CD of The Lion King; the first of many rehearsals this week, I suspect! Wonderful time at HMS Victory. Narrow staircases, passages and low ceilings negotiated with ease. The ferry crossing was great too and everyone is extremely impressed with the lovely Wighthill Hotel and our first meal here. We have been on the beach tonight building three enormous sandcastles and watching the tide reclaim them. The children are great. Here’s to a lovely week.
