Then as we proceeded with breakfast preparation and decamping activities a local resident showed up to learn more about our little gypsy wagon and was joined a few minutes later by another local neighbor. Suffice to say any plans we might have had to depart Aberdeen early was modified. But we also have to say we like meeting people and sharing information about these tiny trailers!
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
