A lovely afternoon (The Greatest Showman)

 What a lovely afternoon. We started with a lovely afternoon tea at Patisserie Valerie which was so lovely. Afternoon tea always looks like not alot to eat and you would manage it until you get 2 layers in and you start doubting yourself and give up so get the rest boxed up !

 We then headed to our local Cineworld to see the highly anticipated The Greatest Showman.
Inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum creator of the Barnum & Bailey circus. Set in New york it tells his story. The highs and lows. With emotive and foot stomping songs this is an inspiring story of dreams and imagination.
With the legend Hugh Jackman playing the title role of Barnum we were already onto a winner. Accompanying him were Michelle Williams as Charity, Barnum's wife with a beautiful voice, Zac Efron as Phillip Carlyle who finally got rid of that cheesy high school musical voice for a really lovely toned voice and really made held his own and showed of his honestly amazing talent! Good career move Zac!
And the rest of the cast were amazing too some new faces we will most likely see again after this performance.

 It reminded me visually of Moulin rouge but musically held its own with its modern song and dance yet setting in Victorian era.
From that first songs your toe was tapping and by the end they were stomping along, you may cry and you may cheer. It gives that much.

A definite must see, they need to make it into a stage show though now !

A 2017 round up and a 2018 plan of attack

Well, 2017 what can i say, this year you changed me. I left a job and got a new one which is the best job i have had and i love it. I can see me making progress within it and making a career hopefully!
With this job in turn came more confidence. I used to hate going to new places and doing new things alone but i bit the bullet and did these and its felt so good the feeling afterwards and praise i get from everyone as well.
I did more of what i love. Visited york finally! Go to my fave coffee shop, listened for hours to my fave radio station, go to car shows (a new hobby the boyfriend dragged me to but of which i now love!) And visited the theatre more! God i love the theatre and musicals! I saw loads this year, Ramin Karimloo, Addams family, Cilla, Joseph and more! Need to see even more this year

It was a fulfilling year and 2018 will be more so!

So 2018 plans... well initially i have my best friends wedding and I'm a bridesmaid! So that's a big thing this year.

But my main things are to be spontaneous and see where each day takes me and to do things on a whim and not plan too much. Feels more of a treat then!

My main resolutions are...

1. Loose weight/go to the gym from February (birthdays in Jan so we wont lie and say ill be good then so ill start in Feb lol)
