This time of year is always crazy !!! time just flying by so fast !!! getting everything done is a challenge ….
it really this year … Also I have tried to be a little more social … a bit out of my comfort zone but have enjoyed seeing Family and Friends ,Theatre and some restaurants with nice food on its way .. How many trips to London ? and reading the auto biog of STRIESAND ….
After Kathy’s party
Had a lovely lunch with my dear Mum and sis Janet always love a Sunday roast when one doesn’t cook it !
A productive meeting with someone i worked with many moons ago watch this space for January as I am staging some shows for the production company ! New year full of new beginnings !
On the 21st it was 6 months since Dougie danced up into the skies …. I miss him xxxx but he is in my heart ….
Went for lunch with Lady Emma at the Ivy Winchester it was fabulous loved the food the service was so good …
Got out the decs to decorate the cottage oh boy I HAVE FAR TO MANY !!! made a huge mess i was covered in boxes for days until I got down to do it I wasn’t looking forward to doing it … as I always did it for Dougie, for us … will be a strange time no doubt with my first christmas without him… but he is in my heart xxx
the decs will need its own post when i get to photograph it !
been working hard at unit getting costumes ready for the horse and show and some hires and worked really hard on a job for Dubai after spending out and getting it ready It was cancelled ….. not even a sorry letter . I should learn …. but hey ho thats life !
Highlight went to to Joe Allens for early dinner met Dear friends Geoff Pine and Lisa Mulidore still the best burgers in town … then went to see Sunset Blvd …. with Nicole Scherzinger as Norma Desmond well its a innovative production .. turning it upside down and inside out … some very fantastic creative elements and a fab performance for Nicole great secure voice .. gives Barbara a run for holding notes ! haha I so enjoyed the evening , 3 times travelled to london this week oh traffic just lets not go there …
Had a nice time with my bro Paul and Judy which was fun ,I just see my father in him … its like my father being alive again rather sweet and touching .
Picked up costumes for the legend of Pat Farmer for the Horse show so nearly all there !
Went to london again met up with Barbara Ferris, it was such a lovely catch up as I hadn’t seen her since Dougie as she has been unwell but she was in good spirits and looking beautiful as ever … then met up with Linda Martin and Maggie Rose for a fun evening … well nearly .. went to Sheaky’s for dinner then to see Back Stairs Billy (Queen mum and butler Billy ) I dont think I should comment OR MAKE MY REVIEW OF THIS …. i left at interval says it all .. shame as it could of been great such a good subject matter … We did know Billy … but thats another story … it was missed cast for me .. rather old fashioned … not a good book … leave farces to Ray Cooney ….think i will get off the subject …
Then December 1st is upon us … Geoff and Richard’s Christmas party ! Nearly 4 hours to get there … lets not talk about that … but lovely to see every one, old friends that i hadn’t seen in years very sweet … Performers from Birds college entertained which was lovely … the drive home was easier thank the lord …
Then Sunday was upon me and sis Janet and mum came up to cottage to see my decs .. bless my mum she was like a little girl she loved them .. I laid on a Christmas tea which they both enjoyed (I hope )
Then went down to the Church hall for the village fare and then the first candle lighting for advent and carol service at the church .. it was charming … to hear my dear mum sing was so so sweet …
So now onto crazy week !
