I’m all packed and ready to head up to Middlewich with shoes and braces all polished. However today has been a very sad day.
My brother and I had to take our cat to the Vets to be put down. Poor Domino had been poorly for a while now as he was diagnosed with having a tuma 3 weeks ago and we knew he didn’t have very long to live. Domino was my best freind and he often use to sit with me under my desk or beside me while I was working late here in my office. We had two cats Minto and Domino but sadly we lost Minto 2 years ago and now Domino has gone too. He will be greatly missed as he was very much loved.
My brother has burried him under his favourite bush where he use to lay out in the sun. Rest in Peace Domino! xxxxxx

I know it’s only Wednesday but I thought I would blog a little earler than usal in prep for this 1940s weekend up in Middlewich. Just to keep you all up to date I will be opening the weekend at The Royal British Legion with my Evette the Spivette show at 8.00pm – 8.45pm and then it will be ATS 9.30pm -10.30pm for a good old fashioned sing-along there after.
Durring the Saturday and Sunday I’m booked to do 3 x 45 min shows daily and these will be taking place in the Civic centre so I hope you can make it along. Sat 11.30am WAAF 1.30pm Hooray for Hollywood, 3.30pm 1940s Glamour, Sun 11.30am (After church service and in the Church) Wren, (Then back at the Civic Center) 1.30pm US Stars and Stripes, 3.30pm Lindy Hop. So busy busy!
In the mean time today I have been out for lunch with my dear freind Betty Page. I met Betty back in 1989 when I played Grace Farell – Warbucks secatery in the Musical “Annie” and Betty played Miss Hanagan. We have kept in touch and been friends ever since even though our carears have been quite different. Betty is a wonderful actress from whom I have learn’t much over the years and she was the one who first introduced me to the wonderful world of Joyce Grenfell which was how I got my Equity card. We always meet up over lunch every few months for a natter and catch up with what’s new on the showbiz front!
Well I’ve much to sort out tonight as I need to type out all my play lists for Middlewich and make sure everything is programmed right for my sound engineer Stefen. I also have another add to design and costumes to organise.
Oh here’s some news – you may be intrested to know that I have just gone onto Pintrest which is a new social media sight which is great for someone like me as it’s very visal. It’s like a pin board for posting photos and is used much more by people in the arts. I shall tell you a little more about that in the next week or so as we will be building in a link from my web-site in time.
Thank-you for dropping in and if I get the chance I will try and blog before I head off to Middlewich if not catch me late Mon or Tues. Toodle Pip and bye for now! ;->

Well what a busy few days it’s been – I’m just back from performing at Sheringham’s 1940s weekend and what a great weekend it was too. It was lovely to be back as the last time I played there was back in 2007. I’d quite forgotten just what a wonderful little town Sheringham is and the railway really did them selves proud!
I do have to confess I’m feeling a little tired as I’ve done 9 shows this week and I’m looking forward to resting my voice before heading off to Middlewich, but more of that later in the week.
In the mean time just to let you know the Battle of Britain Dinner went very well at RAF Coningsby on the way up and I really hope I have the pleasure of playing there again. No shortage of dishy Officers let me tell you and every one was a joy to sing to. They enjoyed my singing so much they wanted to pay me extra to sing in the bar afterwards but sadly I couldn’t take up their offer as I knew I had to pace myself with Sheringham.
The weather this weekend has been fantastic and the atnospher on the station platform was just great. I was booked to do 3 x 45 min shows daily + the Saturday night dance. Come the dance I had the pleasure of working with “Victory Bell” and what a lovely pair they are. Johnny and Francs – I so hope our paths cross again in the future as they were really professional and a joy to work with. If anyone was to ask me – the Saturday night dance was my favourite bit as we really got the platform rocking 40s style with everyone on the dance floor!
This weekend I was able to catch up with so many freinds whom I had not seen in ages including “Timescape” who had been singing at Holt during the days but who came along to my show in the evening. I was really touched as they must have been exsorsted so thank-you guys it was lovely to see you both and may I say how well you both looked!
I think it’s time I head to bed as I’m feeling very tied after all that singing and driving. A big thank-you to Stefen for doing another fabulous job for me on sound and to Chrissie who works so hard at The North Norflk Railway to put this event on. Needless to say I took Connie the Van and didn’t she drive well. It’s great having my own showmans wagon!
Tomorrow I must crack on and answer all my e-mails as I have many to catch up on!
Toodle Pip, Keep Watching and Bye for Now!
