Strictly Come Dancing - Live

Today was the day to take the Girls to the NEC to see the penultimate SCD Live Tour show (last one is this evening).  The travel arrangements were complicated slightly by the car window issue, but we arrived, by train, at the NEC in plenty of time for a ‘Danish and Coffee’ at BB’s before getting to our seats some 5 minutes before the main event started.

The show was excellent, the dancing was fantastic, and the entertainment value was thro’ the roof! Julian insulted the judges magnificently, and after telling everyone that “Dancing is my life”, then proceed to claim that he was in fact a local but from the Lozzells area of Birmingham, and the fact that he has been know as a ‘Brum Bum’ for years was just more proof!!

After arriving back at Brindleyplace to collect the car, we visited the “Mash House” and had Sausage and Mash… fantastic!!  Finally arrived back home at about 18:10, only for the car window to decide to close itself!!
