James and I took Grandma to the Theatre Royal yesterday for the matinee performance of Cinderella, the ballet with music by Prokofiev. This was her Christmas present from us and we planned the excursion carefully so that it would go smoothly. We picked her up in plenty of time and James dropped Grandma and me off at the door of the theatre, where we unfolded the wheelchair and I was able to transport her easily via the lift up to the dress circle. We had time for a drink and a chat before it started. The wheelchair friendly spaces are well appointed, right in the centre of the back row.
The verdict? Grandma loved the whole experience! I was so delighted that she enjoyed herself. She said that the performance was colourful and happy and that she loved the costumes and the music. She also said that she liked the elegance and luxury of the theatre, and she very much enjoyed looking at the other members of the audience and talking about their clothes and hair!
In other news from Casa Anderson, there were heart-warming scenes this afternoon when both James and Alasdair helped Davie to proof read his dissertation. They spent hours all working together and I felt very proud of them.
