Well, yes, it’s been a while since I last blogged so I thought I’d do a catch-up one as people keep asking why I’ve stopped blogging – I haven’t, I’ve just been a bit busy.

So what’s happened?

Well, I’ve been working away a lot – travelling to Oxford, Scarborough, Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham. I attended two Hen Do’s, then, consequently, two weddings. Went to a Christening, took part in the Marie Curie Treasure Hunt with the Ram Jam Chuckle Buttie team, had a week off work to sort out my garden and get some jobs done around the house then another week off to travel around visiting friends and seeing shows.

I saw James at the Carling Academy – excellent gig; Stephen Tompkinson in Charley’s Aunt – that was brilliant and so funny – at the Theatre Royal; …

…Ballet Lorent performed at Mr Lynch; Il Divo at Sheffield Arena; Marillion at Newcastle University and 2 weeks ago I saw Sir Ian McKellen in King Lear which was incredible.

My first visit to the RSC at the Courtyard Theatre, Stratford (the theatre that designed around them) and I was mesmerised. Also starring Sylvester McCoy and William Gaunt, it’s coming to the Theatre Royal, Newcastle, soon – I recommend it. (Yes, and for those familiar with this production – I did see Gandalf’s staff).

This week will be busy as it’s my graduation on saturday, I’m also going to Utah for Slice in 2 weeks time so perhaps things will quieten down after that? Who knows?

Anyway, just a catch-up – most of the Newcastle blogs I read have gone quiet too – perhaps there’s something in the air….or is everyone just busy? 😀
