Busy, busy, busy

Hi everyone,

Since I last posted I have battled the snow trying to get to Aydon Castle Cottages where John and Sarah live. Paddy and I dropped the van there on the way back from Tunisia and it got snowed in pretty deep! I walked a mile one morning, from their house to my stuck car with armfulls of props I had to repair and remake. It was all fun though and I helped dig Sarah out a few times. I got all the props, education packs and costumes ready for the tour of Contes Dores to begin on Jan 18th. I also managed to do some database work for the office, as well as booking some hotels for us to stay in while on tour...aah the office life! I am enjoying it as much as the touring side of the job! It must be those lovely people who work there :)

We have now finished the first week of the tour. It has gone well, with lots of enthusiastic audiences and teachers. We are getting back into a good rhythm as a team now and I'm looking forward to the 5 weeks we will be spending on the road, once we are finished in the north east. We will be living in self-catering accomodation for a few weeks, which always creates a great bond between the crew.

Sorry for the delay in posts, but I have been very busy organising my first tax return!

I will post again before we are finished touring the north east.
