Puppets...

We went to an International puppet festival a couple of week-ends ago. The girls were amazed by the puppets and even ICE and I enjoyed seeing it.

Acts ranged from traditional Punch and Judy to
Titan, a 7ft tall singing robot;

Two "colonials" on a camel;

and the Yangzhou puppets from China.

The ones we thought were the best were, Saurus, the Poles Apart Insect Band and the Creatures.The Creatures, wonderful, 3 metres tall, walk-about Gothic animals that needed a keeper to ensure that they don’t misbehave.

Saurus were these enormous dinosaurs that puffed smoke, reminding you of those creatures that wandered the planet at the dawn of time.We really enjoyed the music of the amazing insect band.

A great day out.
