Despite the inclement conditions, we enjoyed a spectacular evening at Gawsworth Hall being thoroughly entertained by the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. We bravely ventured out into the torrential rain; firstly to stock up on goodies for our picnic (yes we persevered with the outdoor eating regardless of the less-than-summer weather) and then again to reach the venue. The most popular saying being bandied about when we reached Gawsworth Hall was 'only the British would do this'!
Several people had put up their gazebo and were having dinner with their best silver and champagne. We were not mad enough to spread out our picnic rug, but hastily found shelter in the spectator stand where we commandeered a few spare seats to use as table and spread out a veritable feast. We enjoyed our picnic with ukulele practice in the background - perfect!
And the performance was truly marvellous; I could not have anticipated anything better. The musical talent was extraordinary and delivered with a flourish of humour. We all had aching cheeks by the end, having smiled continually for two and a half hours. What a superb MNTV social this turned out to be!
