A Starstruck Becky!

Well, the phonecall finally came last night, and Becky has been selected to appear on the tv show. There were squeals of excitement and excitable phone-calls made to all and sundry, ha.

The final 9 children have been chosen and Becky is amongst them!

Well done Becky.

The first day of filming (on location) is next Thursday in South Wales, so we are going to have to set off on the Wednesday and stay over-night in a hotel. It is a 6 hour train journey, and I have arranged the time off work so will be able to take her...thank goodness.

There are lots of things to organise, paperwork, train times, etc, but Berenice is helping me with all that side of things...thanks B.

She is so excited, and has said from the outset, that this is ''her thing''...ha.

I have some piccies of her London trip to sort through and when I have, I will post them here.

There are more filming dates to be arranged before the final show goes ''on air'' so I will keep things posted and up to date here on my blog.

In the meantime, you all take care.

Smiles.

Becky and the Big City!

Well, I have got my new pc up and running and am really pleased with it.
It's good to be back online without having to cross my fingers each time I log on..ha.

My youngest daughter has just returned from a week-end in London. Auditions for a tv programme were recently held at her school and she got through to the next round.

The second round auditions were held today and she thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I wasn't able to take Becky myself so the school secretary offered to take her...I am so appreciative.

They left yesterday morning and spent a large part of the day sight-seeing in the city from the top deck of an open-top tour bus. They also went to Buckingham Palace and last night they went to see the musical ''Mama Mia'' which comprises of all the Abba songs.Another generation is now enjoying the hit songs from the seventies and eighties! Becky, aged ten!

Becky has been full of beans since getting back home and even if she doesn't get through to the final 9 children who will appear on the show, she has had a great experience.There were a thousand children originally auditioned and she got through to the 27 who attended today. Well done Becky.

She now informs me that she wants to go and see ''The Sound of Music'' in London's West End for her birthday in November.I have always wanted to go, so here's hoping we can.

Well that's all from me for now. Take care friends and I'll catch up with you all soon.

Smiles.

Autumn Approaching....

Tomorrow I am hoping to but my new pc. It can't come quick enough for me, ha.

I have the loan of one at the moment and I have just been catching up with all your blogs. I have really enjoyed finding out what has been happening in your lives.

I have just finished reading Imran's blog, about the arrival of their baby hamsters. The photography is excellent and well worth a look...I've never seen such cute pics!


James has some great haiku and tankas with an Autumn theme.I have enjoyed reading through them and absorbing the atmosphere of this, my favourite season.

Berenice has a variety of interesting posts, ranging from ''impossible for me'' yoga positions, to her cat in a straight jacket!

On Pris' blog I listened to a guy singing with a most unusual voice amongst other eye-catching posts.

On Richie's blog, an explanation as to why he has had to postpone his visit here in October, but also, the most lovely song and lyrics, maybe inspired by the sadness we both feel.

Who needs t.v. when you can have all this at the click of a mouse?

I have thoroughly enjoyed visiting all your blogs this evening...quality time, well spent.

Smiles.
