ASIDELINES: Pantaloons in mood for love
YOU can't walk through the Botanical Gardens this summer without a thespian bursting from the bushes shouting "Have at you varlet!"
Heartbreak Theatre and the British Shakespeare Company are there over July and August, as we said yesterday. Now here's news of The Pantaloons "young, vibrant theatre company" staging Romeo and Juliet for free, August 6-9, 2.30pm. Just turn up with a blanket and a picnic.
Rich pickings
THIS sunny weather has ripened the strawberries ahead of time at Whirlow Hall Farm and there are fields full of them going begging.
"It's caught us unawares with the fruit ripening all in a rush. We have got so many at the moment we don't know what to do with them," says Rob Waitt who runs the farm shop at Whirlow.
"It breaks my heart to see them going to waste."
The Diary made lovely Whirlow strawberry jam and will be there this weekend. PYO straws are 3.60 a kilo. There are plenty of gooseberries, too. The farm is open every day, 10am-6pm.
Hot 'n' bothered
SO what would you want to do on what was almost certainly the hottest day of the year yesterday?
Jump in the swimming pool might be a good idea.
That's what a colleague slogging away at The Star thought and phoned Hathersage open air pool to see what time they closed.
"No afternoon sessions. We're closed for staff training," he was told.
What he said about jobsworths unable to think on their feet is unprintable!
