Since September, my housemate and I have been waiting patiently to go and see the Nutcracker ballet. It is our special just-before-Christmas treat to ourselves and an indicator that it's time to get extremely excited. I can't believe how quickly the last few months have gone because our just-before-Christmas special treat is tonight!
It is the Matthew Bourne version of the Nutcracker at Sadlers Wells. We've got nosebleed seats - the stage will only be visible with night-vision binoculars - but I could not care less. I am extremely excited!
