I’ve been flying solo this week as my husband is away working on an event. It’s been a week of feeling somewhat overstretched and trying to juggle too many balls (as is often the case at this time of year) but they’ve mostly stayed in the air so far. Sophie is also feeling much better… Read More

We’re just plodding along this week.

Since then pre-audition rehearsals have started for… Read More
