If WFH has got you talking to the walls why not give yourself some love like Sheridan Smith and pencil in a Shirley Valentine’s Day?
The much-loved Sheridan (Gavin & Stacey, Cilla) has been earning rave reviews for her reinterpretation of Shirley Valentine in London’s West End.
A performance, first mastered by Pauline Collins in the Eighties, and recalled with affection to this day.
Now we live in a very different world to Eighties Shirley.
But in some ways our need to get out and see the world is even greater.
Now more and more of us have been consigned to our own four walls because of Covid, the post-Covid world and the Digital Age.
Good then that our dream makers, our Travel providers, have been channeling that need.
And laying out the dream holidays and destinations at hand.
For Shirley, her getaway, her bolthole, was Greece and it truly is epic.
We’ll leave you with our own thoughts here.
