Days 14, 15 and 16
Sorry
I couldn’t post over the weekend. As I said in my Day #13 post, I didn’t have
access to the internet, so I am finally getting to it now! As I have quite a
few photos from over the past few days, instead of just doing individual ones
for each day, I thought I’d compile them and treat you to them all!

I
was up at 5am on Friday to get the train down to Doncaster, arriving at 1pm, to
then head straight to an afternoon rehearsal, then onto an evening performance
in Sprotbrough. I got to bed at 11pm, and as you can imagine I was shattered.

On Saturday I went through to Leeds to meet up with my friend Vicki (who I
lived with at uni) for lunch. We went to Pizza Express in Headingley which was
lovely as usual. (My favourite pizza in the world is the Pollo ad Astra pizza.
It’s sooo good!)

Then it was onto rehearsal and performance again, this time in
Leeds. Both performances were sold-out and we were received very well, getting some
great feedback! The performance on Saturday night was especially fun as the
audience were so responsive. In the Carmen
excerpt of the show, there is audience participation where they come onto the
stage and can join in the fun with a glass of wine, and the people who came up
on Saturday were great fun! We all went to a nice pub along the road afterwards
and as the cast is all great fun, we had a really nice night.

Anyway, I stayed
with my musical director, John, and his wife, Mary, in Knaresborough which was
lovely. It’s like staying in a really good hotel, so I was quite happy!
 |
| Beautiful spare room at John and Mary's. |
 |
| Nice decor! |
 |
| Very fitting for a Musical Director's house! |
Yesterday it was back home (another 8.5-hour train journey). All in
all, it was a really good weekend, and feeling so tired today was definitely
worth it! :)
Some of these pics are from my Instagram - I'm not that great-a photographer! :)
