I ted to have horrible claustrophobia, which of course made flying sheer torture. But gradually, over the years, that fear has subsided. I'll wish the same for you.<br /><br />As to seeing War Horse -- would love to, but an overseas trip isn't in the budget right at the moment. I'll just have to let you enjoy it twice -- once for you and once for me.Fran Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230580828240178414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509324054948808269.post-92214037203662028082012-02-15T16:22:03.465-05:002012-02-15T16:22:03.465-05:00Hi Fran, great you visited Pitlochry but the theat...Hi Fran, great you visited Pitlochry but the theatre has only been there in present form for 15/20 years or so,now have built a wonderful Explorers Garden beside it where plants gathered by Scottish Victorian gardeners from all parts of the world are grown so a double-delight visit. However you should really save your pennies for the live theatre production of "War Horse" which I saw in London last year and the things those people did with those horses-sorry puppets- were truly amazing!I was in the second row and still thought they were real horses,another diverse form of theatre which was really spellbinding.Might have helped you with your fear of horses to be close but know they were not real.Good luck you are doing great with those horses and the horses seem to know it too- my fear is flying which I am not even attempting to tackle. Have flown only once,to Toronto to visit family then being a scaredy cat went by bus! to Perry,Ohio on Lake Erie where lovely friends lived. Thirteen years ago but too scared to repeat it.The motivatioin then was both friends,husband and wife,discovered the same week they had cancer so after ten cowardly years sincethey visited us made myself do it but won't get that motivation again I hope.Will watch your progress with pride though, you can be brave for me too,good luck.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17667145446457127295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509324054948808269.post-39711718637415198172012-02-13T23:21:05.387-05:002012-02-13T23:21:05.387-05:00Megan, thank you for taking the time to respond so...Megan, thank you for taking the time to respond so delightfully. I've been in Pitlochry once -- a log time ago, and missed the theater there. Maybe some day I'll make it back that way. I did wander around the back streets checking out people's gardens and had a lovely time.<br /><br />The Atlanta Shakespeare Company was the first American theater group invited to perform onstage at the newly reconstructed Globe Theatre. I regret not having gone in hock to pay for a ticket over there to see those performances. Ah well...some day.<br /><br />And I have another story about the phone jokes. I'll tell you in a couple of days.Fran Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230580828240178414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509324054948808269.post-41898066773988084812012-02-13T18:33:41.531-05:002012-02-13T18:33:41.531-05:00Hi Fran,
I so agree with what you said about ...Hi Fran,<br /> I so agree with what you said about theatre.I was a rather late convert to it but now we go up to the Highlands of Scotland where they have the Theatre in the Hills in Pitlochry beside the river in a beautiful setting and thet do six different plays a week,they are a repertory theatre usually doing classic plays and comedy,but also I go to inner city Glasgow where they have a lunchtime one hour play written by younger people and different every week and occasionally I visit London and go to the reproduction of Shakespeare's Globe theatre which is fascinating. Sorry to have rambled on a bit,my point is that theatre comes in so many forms(like life!) but all of them have something to say to you if you listen.<br /> Shame about your jokes coz a joke a day keeps the psychiatrist away.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17667145446457127295noreply@blogger.com
