Panto time is on its way, and this year I am pleased to be taking the part of the Prime Minister in a production of Jack And The Beanstalk in the Dunblane Centre, Dunblane.

This motley crew is the principals of the show; the real stars are of course the children who always do a great job.

The show is on at the Dunblane Centre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, with a matinee performance on the Saturday afternoon. Hopefully the audiences will manage to get there in spite of the weather!

I should probably admit that there could be considered to be some cheating here. I didn’t take this photograph; my friend Martin did. But I’m in the picture, and I processed it, so I’m claiming rights over it!
