How I met Shrek and obtained green ears

I’ve just returned from a visit to my home town of Manchester where I stayed with my younger brother Ralph and his family. The reason for the trip was to see my niece’s end of year school performance of “Shrek – The Musical”. Saskia (almost 11) had the role of Shrek and was a real star. All the children showed great confidence and enthusiasm in a fun night.
