Oh yes it is...

Mind that codpiece sheriff!
 We had an excellent night out last Thursday at the annual NIVADS (Nidri very amateur dramatics society) pantomime presentation of Robin Hood as usual at Vliho Yacht Club.  Thanks for the pictures VYC which I have purloined from your Facebook page because mine were not good. It was a real family fun night and to our mind the best panto we have seen to date.

A rose between three Thorns.
Jan as prince John with his constant lisp (his solo can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtT8zWvhnv8#t=149 ) Special mention should also be made for the parts played by Tree, Lorna and the unforgettable codpiece that was the Sheriff of Nottingham, it would not be unfair to mention the whole cast as they all played a fantastic part but unfortunately I don't have the space here.

The cast of Robin Hood.
I don't think Lekada will be quite the same again after that, one thing that was very pleasing was that there were several Greeks in the audience and one lady was explaining the "plot" to her children whose English was obviously not quite up to  double entendra pantomime jokes, however, they seemed to get it after mum explained, and I thought panto was a very British thing.

We went with Debbie and Jez and had a meal at the Yacht club prior to the performance which was great and sufficient lubrication to make the heckling flow more freely.
King Richard and the Ninja Tree.

Today is No. 4 Grandsons Birthday so I would just like to wish Mason Riley a very happy 8th Birthday from Grandma and Granddad.  And also love to the other seven of them who may feel left out.
