Last Sunday the whole fandambily headed off to the Blake Theatre here in Monmouth to join around 500 others to be entertained by Julia Donaldson whilst she read and sang stories from her brilliant kids books. If you know nothing of her work and have children aged between oooh, 1 and 6-7 then you really are in for a treat, especially those that are illustrated by Axel Scheffler (A Squash and a Squeeze, The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and many more ...).

It wasn't just her, she had her hubby playing the guitar and acting out the parts and her sister shifting kids around on stage and making sure all the pieces were in the right place.

It was oodles of fun and

Whilst I shouldn't have (as I was told during the show) I managed to take a bunch of photo's and even a wee bit of video - photo's to be uploaded sometime soonish.

AND, the best bit for those that live in Aotearoa - Mum/Nanna queued to get a few of Jack/Meg's books signed and Julia (first name basis already) said she was heading to NZ in February 2007. Watch that space parents!
