Wordless Wednesday - Yummy Moments in Melbourne

Sharing memorable moments at My Little Drummer Boys:

Annie - Theatre Love

 In Melbourne, we were lucky to see Annie the Musical!

For a start, the Regent Theatre, itself, was just beautiful, extremely ornate, I'm guessing art nouveau style. 

I was told to not take photos inside the theatre, but I did manage to get these shots before that, hee hee!

And the show was good family fun! EVERYBODY knows the song Tomorrow, which I LOVE,
even if Annie sings it a kajillion times! 

But there are some other great songs and dance routines too, especially Hard-Knock Life, by the orphans.

 The cast was fantastic, especially those little girls, who are all about 10 years old, bless 'em! 

Anthony Warlow, played the main role, and I was really impressed by the actor who played Grace, his secretary. I realised later, she also played Christine in Phantom of the Opera beside Anthony Warlow,

so, of course, she was brilliant. 

The sets were magnificent, being mostly the interior of a millionaire's mansion in the 1930s, so that suited me right down to the ground! 

I couldn't resist buying the Programme and CD on our way out. 

There's nothing like bellowing along to songs from a musical when driving in the car! 

I did that with the Wicked Soundtrack for about a year!

Catch Annie if you can!

Up the River

As part of our recent adventures in Victoria we visited Echuca.
With both a historic street and a main street of shops, it was a great place for some pics:

We stayed overnight in this gorgeous Georgian Hotel.

The following day we went on a paddleboat steamer, called The Emmylou, up and down the river.

It was such a peaceful and relaxing trip! 

Even the town's playground had a paddleboat steamer theme!

Victoria St Markets and Madame Pompadour

The Victoria St Markets in Melbourne were HUGE, let me tell you, and I bought some great shoes from a man who had worked there for 41 years! I loved these red shoes so much, (they were so comfy and cute!)I went back, just before we caught the plane home, to buy a black pair the same!

Also, at the Markets, it was so chilly that I had to buy a grey scarf and slouch hat to keep me toasty.

Here I am wearing them, and my new red jacket from a shop in Docklands.

My favourite shop of all in Melbourne was at the markets, in one of the buildings along the side - 
Madame Pompadour! 
Appealing to the part of me that adores pinks, reds and florals, 
I could have happily bought every item in this shop! Teapots, roses and quilts, oh my!

As it was, I bought pyjamas, a skirt, rings, and a greeting card, but with more time and luggage space I could have really gone crazy!

Love, love, adore!
