Yesterday, Erika and I went to a performance of the Three Musketeers at the Vera Fletcher Hall in Thames Ditton. Organised by Ruth Lyon and Karen Randolph, the dinner and panto raise money for new equipment at Thames Ditton community hospital.

It's always a great annual event. Erika and I went along - our first night out since the arrival of our new son, Peter - and it was a great evening with a rambunctious atmosphere! The Charles Court Opera came down from London to perform and they were absolutely superb, whilst Dairy Crest sponsored the event - all in aid of a great local cause. Congratulations to all those who put in the hard-work organising it, and we look forward to next year's event.
