The Over Players Pantomime Read Through
Queen Pod, with her very quiet and obedient husband King Pod, holds an annual competition so that she might find a suitor for their son, Prince Pea. But her meticulous, and often impossible, challenges have (quite deliberately) left him a bachelor. So, when the mischievous Wizard Tangreinee kidnaps the original fairy tale Princess, Cinderella, to train his two daughters, will Prince Pea finally be wed? Or will the unique charms of the boisterous Strawberry Sorbet win his mother over? And in a land where fruit and vegetables walk and talk, what exactly will be hidden beneath that famous mattress? Be Part of the Adventure! Dates For Your Diaries! Sunday 6th…

Father’s Day baking
Father’s Day is a day when we love to spoil those special men in our families. Fathers, grandfathers, uncles or friends – anyone who plays a father-like role in our life or in that of our children. You will obviously know their taste in special meals – my Dad loved roast beef with all the trimmings, followed by apple pie and cream. I have only met one or two men though, who don’t love a slice of chocolate cake as a treat, so I’m sharing with you a rather scrummy recipe. It’s Nigella Lawson’s Chocolate Guiness cake, which I have in her book Feast and the accompanying photo is from…

Father’s Day ideas for those special chaps
To make a simple and inexpensive gift for that precious man, how about a personalised photo frame holding a photo of him with you/your children? A wooden frame could be painted if necessary but even other frames could work. Using a glue gun, attach a few things that are appropriate to the man’s hobbies around the frame. Maybe it’s fishing flies (without hooks obviously), or nuts and bolts, or perhaps decoupage a wooden frame with torn strips from an old book no longer required. Etc. I know these suggestions are rather generic but whatever your person is interested in could probably be replicated in some way. For someone who enjoys…
