Take That and party on!

At Christmas I squeaked when I opened my pressie from my sister, tickets for Take That in Cardiff. I was more than squeaking tonight seeing them live on stage. What a party!
It was breathtaking. Just amazing.
And despite my neighbour, a man clearly dragged to the show against his better judgement, I had a total blast.
Any vestiges of frumpy forty five year, old mum were lost mile by mile as we travelled to Cardiff. My sister and I became quite giggly and tempers which would normally have frayed when she overshot Cardiff completely were shrugged off with good humour and just added to the adventure.
We shopped, we tried on clothes, sunglasses and gorgeous Jo Malone scent, we ate and explored and reckon that Cardiff sure has changed for the better since we last visited in the early nineties.
And then it was with the crowds to meander our way to the stadium, surely the whole city was there or certainly most of the female population with a good smattering from Swindon, Bath and Bristol as we'd spotted them on the motorway on our way down. It became quite a game spot the Take That fans! (many thanks to those who made it easier by wearing their t-shirts loud and proud!)
And oh the music and oh Robbie! What a reception you were given the roar swept up the stadium and rocked the city! What a showman, such a wicked man but such a smile, yes you truly could get away with anything.
I forgot how good Take That were and being Robbie fan ( in case you didn't spot it), I was stunned. My words could not do justice to the night but I know that I will forever be a fan...

It's good to let your hair down once in a while...even at our age! (-;

Lucky You!!! My friend bought us tickets and it was only 3 weeks ago we found out we had been scammed. Glad you had such a fab time - I did see them 5 years ago and would have loved to have seen them again, but with Robbie in tow...

Funny how those teen bands (when we were teens) make you 15 years old again. Love it! Robbie is a great singer and performer and hasn't got the recognition lately that he deserves.

Sounds like a great night out!

Oh yes I am with you all the way on this one. I went to see them at Stadium of Light in Sunderland - AWESOME! Robbie is a showman of the highest order - the whole night was tremendous!

Go on you know you want to...
