Hello everybody!

I cannot believe it has been 3 months since I've written! I am useless!

Well, since Houghton..... I have been to Surbiton, Blackpool, Birmingham, March, Portsmouth, IRELAND, TYNE & WEAR, Isle of Wight, Newport Pagnell, Littlehampton, Somerset, Mundesley (twice), Skegness, ST ALBANS, BENIDORM, THE O2, Peterborough, and WEYMOUTH!

I'll start by telling you about Ireland, Michelle and I had a rare couple of days off, so went to Dublin for the weekend.  Had a fabulous time, went all over on the sight-seeing tour bus, and of course went to the Guinness factory! But be warned if you have never been to Ireland, it is very, very expensive!  Would still recommend it though!

Calico, Michelle and I went up to Washington in Tyne & Wear for our friends wedding, which was absolutely gorgeous, was such an honour to be part of their day.

St Albans was home to our annual Breast Cancer Charity evening - which was again a sell out.  Well done to Barbara and Phil for putting on such a great event.  They raised over £2100 so far. Was also lovely to see Kim and her Dollies there!

Michelle and I flew out to Benidorm for a couple of days - but this time for work (if you can call it that!!!!).  I did Sunday night, Michelle taught on Monday, we stayed to watch Dave Sherriff who I have not seen for years, then came home on the Tuesday.
We had a great time - and our thanks go to Mal & Jan for inviting us over.

I would love to say that I then did a concert at The o2, but I would be lying!  Last year we took my nieces up to the o2 for 'Nemo on Ice'.  This year it was 'Princess' on Ice' which was truly superb!  It was so emotional, it was like being at Disney!  My nieces thoroughly enjoyed it and we cannot wait to see what they are doing next year!

Finally will just tell you about last weekend which was a Stage-Coach event at the Riviera in Weymouth.  Michelle was main instructor for the weekend and was absolutely fantastic (as always!)  I have known her for quite a while now, and I still cannot believe just how much energy she produces all weekend long!  In my opinion, there is nobody like her.  Fantastic teacher and a lovely person - I'll definitely be voting for her this year in the CBA awards! 
Calico performed on the Friday night - I was in Peterborough - but I hear they were brill - even did 'Playing with Fire'.  Pedro performed Sat and Sun afternoon - and he was really good, such a lovely guy.  I did Saturday night, got to perform my new one this week 'Time to Swing', had an excellent night.  Sunday night Gemmani were on,

they were great and they got Pedro and myself up for the encore (will put video on site soon!)

I will hopefully be revamping my site over the next week , as that wonderful season is ever approaching!!!!  Smissmas (as my niece calls it!!)

Take care
