Sheppey,Hailsham and Heathfield Visits

Left early this morning to get over to Sheppey to do my supermarket visit - i had missed the 0730 bus so i walked to the local rail station and went via train to Queenborough. I took a couple of snaps there.

I then caught the bus down to Hailsham via Tunbridge Wells to do my shoe repair shop visit and then back up to Heathfield to do my original factory store visit where i purchased an indulgent Thornton's Special Toffee Chocolate Bar! Guilty pleasure indeed!

I am currently in Tunbridge Wells at the Opera House enjoying a Sixpoint Bengali can - top notch New York craft beer!

Meanwhile , talking of opera here is the opening scene from John Adams' opera "Nixon In China"

..
John Adams's first opera Nixon In China, produced by Peter Sellars, with libretto by Alice Goodman, about the visit of Richard Nixon to China in 1972, where he met with Mao Zedong and other Chinese officials.
Act I Opening -
The opera begins at Beijing Airport. As the soldiers wait, an airplane taxis and lands on the stage - the Nixons and Henry Kissinger disembark and are greeted by Chou Enlai. As Nixon is introduced to various Chinese officials by Chou, he sings of his hopes and fears for his historic visit.
