Summer Sun and May Bank Holiday! :)
My house is still a tip, but I don't care - I've had a couple of lovely days and am probably sunburned by now. :)
Yesterday we (Darcy and I, the children stayed with their grandparents - hours and hours of peace!) were invited to a 50th wedding anniversary. Not much to tell really, except that it was a wonderful occasion and that all of you out there with problems should most definitely hang on in there! The rewards are brilliant. There is something incredibly heartwarming about two people who have stuck together for that long. :)
Today we went to Nostell Priory where there was a Steam Fair. Loads of old Victorian steam engines - including those big, loud, cheery organs - and vintage cars, as well as a craft-fair and lots of fairground rides. We went with my parents-in-law and had a really wonderful time. Saw lots of fun things, the children went on rides, then we went up to the Priory itself and gardens and looked around - all very grand and old. Oh - and not free, but the in-laws were paying, so we could enjoy without a worry! :)
But the oddest thing happened just when we arrived. Driving through the gates I saw a large sign tied to the fence:
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
performed by ILLYRIA
This conjured up enough ridiculously wonderful images to entertain me for a long time! :)
(Btw. 'Illyria' is apparently a Theatre company. Although I haven't found out why it's called that.)
Hm, I wanted to include Little Miss M's drawing of Doctor Who, but I can't find it (see above re. messy house). It'll have to wait for another post.

That's the explanation I came up with too. Although I'm very tempted to write to them and ask where the name comes from...
expecting a sort of "blue man" group look! *g*
Heeeee! :D

"What country, friends, is this?"
"This is Illyria, lady."
Joss and the theatre troup both drew upon the same source.
