Snow can't stop the parish pantomime


For those who aren't around, this is what the Church and the Chapel on the Hill are like right now.





Of course, it's fabulously beautiful, and the snow has created a wonderful community spirit, but it also makes life harder for quite a few of us who find it hard to get about with ice around.




In terms of upcoming notices, we've two more weddings on Saturday, Granz and Tracian and Gareth and Kerry-ann.


And the big parish pantomime. The Land of Green Ginger is coming up on 19th to 21st February. It's a sequel to Aladdin.


Father John is Tictac Ping Foo, the evil prince trying to stop the heroic Abu Ali (yours truly, though I say it myself) from winning the hand of the beautiful Silverbud (Naomi).


You may also see Father Alan as Widow Twanky, Paul as the Genie of the lamp, Graham as Sulkpot Ben Nag Nag, Silverbud's irate father, Trudi as a button nosed tortoise and Reverend Michael, as Rubdub Ben Thud, Tictac's ally cum foe. Angelina Jolie stars as the evil princess.


What will happen, will it end happily ever after? You'll have to come and see.


Of course, all the cast all know their lines. (Oh, no, they don't. Oh yes, they do...)

Thursday 19th to Saturday 21st. Doors open 7.30pm each night. Tickets on sale from this Sunday.

PS I was lying about Angelina Jolie.
