It’s just a quick blog tonight as I have a busy day planned tomorrow. I shall be meeting up with Rachel my web-designer tomorrow morning and looking over the new mobile web designs for my site. I can’t quite get my head around it all so it will be exciting to see my original designs move and change shape to suit the different mobile technologies.
We shall also be up loading David’s video he took of me at Chatham’s “Salute to the 40” last September so do look out for that and I shall keep you posted.
I’m performing in Aylesbury tomorrow afternoon my “We’ll Meet Again” ATS show and then on Friday I’m booked to sing at a funeral in Chipping Campden. In some ways I’m rather pleased I didn’t get the TV job for Thursday as it would have been a bit of a squeeze fitting in “The One Show” as well so I guess somethings work out for the best!
I must dash as I’m looking forward to an early night!
Toodle Pip!

Hello every-one I’m just back from my weekend away from getting my accounts up to date and ship shape and already I have a pile of e-mails and phone messages to answer. It looks like you’ve missed me! So here I am working late once more doing my best to answer you all!
Despite being away, these last few days haven’t been uneventful. I purposely stayed close to home which was just as well as I had a late show in on the Friday which was just around the corner from my hotel. My diabetic blood pricker broke. Please don’t ask me how as these things are indestructible – so I had to go home and get my spare. But all in all it’s been a good couple of days away and I’m really pleased I’ve caught up with my accounts. I’ve also been able to start running again and although I wasn’t able to run fully on Saturday by Sunday my ankle was much stronger and I’m now getting my stride back even though I still have bruises.

Caldecotte Lake Milton Keynes

I’ve been staying this weekend in Milton Keynes at the Premier Inn Windmill on Caldecotte Lake. It’s a good run round although many of the path ways are still flooded from all the rain. Mind you the Swans and ducks didn’t seem to mind as the lake is full of wild life.
I’ve been working really hard these last few days to get my accounts in order although I did allow myself some TV time on Sunday to see “Call the Midwife” and “The Three Musketeers”. It was a bit of a toss up between “Mr Selfridge” and “The Musketeers” but the Musketeers won and after watching the first episode I have a feeling I may well have stayed in that Inn.The landlady looked familiar! Less said about that the better!

That’s showbiz and life on the road for you!
I look forward to catching up with Mr Selfridge this week. Mind you I have a very busy week planed. I’m in Buldock tomorrow, then Chipping Campden on Friday, Bella’s Burns Night Ball on Saturday and as for Thursday I may well be in London singing “Pack up Your Troubles” for a TV show. I wont know until tomorrow weather I’ve got the job or not so we will just have to see what fate has in store for me.
Well it’s late and I must get to bed.
Thank-you for following and Toodle Pip!

It’s been a really busy week what with one thing and another and I’m pleased to report I have caught up with all my contracts and e-mails – Phew! I’m all set to go away tomorrow for my annual “get on with my accounts weekend” with-out the distractions of home. So I’m booked into my hotel and looking forward to getting started!
My ankle is so much better and I hope next week I will be able to wear heels again. Today I was able to dance and Charleston during my show although my ankle is still feeling a little week. I hope it wont be long before I can go out running again although I may have to satisfy myself with that very fast walking. The sort of fast walking which everyone laughs at and makes you look ever-so camp!
Oh well needs must –  in fact the more I think about it the more I fancy camping it up! Mmmm I’m such a ham – watch out world Fiona’s going jogging!
This week I’ve had shows every day and next week is just as busy. I’ve stepped in at short notice to do a show tomorrow on my way to the hotel and then next week I’ve been asked to sing at Bella’s Burns Night Ball. I shall be singing at the drinks reception songs from the 1940s so if you would like to go it would be lovely to see you there. All the proceeds are going to The Hospice of St Francis as part of  Bella’s Vietnam trekking expedition and ticket details can be found on the flyer.
Next Thursday I shall be seeing my web-designer Rachel and looking over the new designs of my “going mobile” web-site. It’s all very exciting and I’m very interested in seeing how it will all click together from PC to tablet to mobile phone ect. Once we get this new technology in place I have lots of plans for new pages. My site is screaming out for a Video and Show Reel page which will make viewing easier and I shall also be adding in sound bites which will speed things up considerably. The world is moving so fast and it will be great to be one of the first entertainers to use this technology making up-dates to my site so much easier.
We shall also be up loading my Chatham show reel next week too which was taken last September by David Boyle at “Salute to the 40s”. It really shows off all my costumes and is a great record of the day so keep watching and I shall keep you posted.
I think that is about all my news for now other than I have my first dress fitting for my bustle next Tuesday. I’ve always wanted one and I shall be wearing it this August at the Isle of Wight Steam Railways Victorian event. I have some new arrangements too so I’m looking forward to singing them and wearing a bustle this summer!
Time for bed now I think! Thanks for following and Toodle Pip!

Me Out and about in Olney!

I’m pleased to say my ankle is getting stronger with every-day and I was able to do Saturday’s show with out a stick. So I’m really pleased I’m on the mend! I hope it wont be too long before I will be able to go out running again although I have been doing my sit ups despite not being strong enough to get in the press up position with my ankle!
This weekend I took some time out to visit the town of Olney as it has some lovely tea rooms and shops. I’ve also got to the point where I need to exercises my ankle with some gentle walking so my new boots have been just the ticket as they hold and support my ankle. The great thing is I don’t need my stick any more although I’m still having to wear flat shoes and trousers on stage as the bandage isn’t a good look with a dress!
I’m rather burning the midnight oil blogging tonight as I’ve been at my desk all day catching up on paper work and the phone has been red hot. I’ve had loads of e-mails to do today and just when I think I have caught up on contracts I sell some more dates – which is really good!
I guess I had better get to bed I’ve just noticed it’s 1.24am and I’ve shows all this week before heading off for the weekend. That’s when I go away to somewhere quiet to work on my accounts with out the distractions of home. I do it every year and I always come back feeling refreshed and feeling good about myself having accomplished something important.
Well I must get to bed now thank-you for following and I shall catch up with you all soon!
Toodle Pip!
