KittyLou Says: A 16 mile long steam railway which travels from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth with stops at Bewdley, Arley, Highley, Hampton Loade inbetween.We expected that we would hop on and off at some of those little villages and explore but because of the crowds for the 1940s weekend we...

Rose Theatre - the Main Theatre: Shakespeare - The Winter's Tale
Galahad Says: Another play put on by The Rose's own amateur company called The Nonentities. This time it was in the Main Theatre and I went to see Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. The Director had set the play on either side of WWII. (Before the interval was set before the war and after...
