More traveling bands -guess the location ?

















Well , here we have some more traveling bands ? can any one tell me where these two characters are ? Yes ! you`ve guessed it -win yourself a free MND band and a car sticker-so come on have a go ! I have been in contact with the MNDA last week after having visited their site to order my christmas cards and have asked them to give us a affiliated link on their web site which they have agreed to do- I feel it gives us more of a official status ! So I`am feeling pretty positive about that ! A big thank you to a Mr Ian Wray for the fabulous donation of a bottle of Glenmorangie whiskey for our forthcoming raffle , it turns out that Ian knew Andrew through the Clwyd Vale Motor club many years ago when Andrew was a keen rally car navigator ! Ian had seen our request in the local paper for raffle prizes and decided he would like to support us ! Thank you so much ! I will be listing more raffle prizes this week.

Photo call !

Well as you can see we got our photo ! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole night , we arrived early as requested , had our photo taken with Frazer [who was charming ] then we skipped off to the pub for a large glass of wine before returning to the Scala to watch Frazer`s show. It was very entertaining and I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone thinking of going !
After the interval [and another glass of wine ]there was a question and answer part of the show, the audience had previously been given slips of paper on which to write down any questions they wished to ask Frazer. Ned and I filled all the slips- putting aunty judys name on all of them [sorry jude- you know i`m shy !] I thought you handled yourself really well when they called out your name [not once but three times ]!!
Frazer did talk candidly and with humour of his own battle with illness and in doing so gave us a plug about raising awareness for Andrew and mnd [ he was wearing a cancer charity wrist band aswell as Andrews mnd band]
At the end of the show brother in law Tim sneaked off and bought me Frazer`s book called
"Hines sight "and presented it to me signed by the man himself. A wonderful keepsake of a very enjoyable night-I won`t be forgetting soon !
Thank you to our very own official photographer Stuart Lewis for taking the pictures x

Starstuck

I met the actor Frazer Hines today , he walked into the shop where I work, what a lovely man ! He is touring the country with his one man show and is appearing here in our local Scala this Sunday. He is best known for his appearances in Doctor Who [playing along side the second doctor ] and for his role in Emmerdale farm as the gorgeous Joe Sugden [ he is still gorgeous- how come some men don`t seem to age] He was only too happy to support my brother Andrew awareness campaign and bought a wristband from me. " Have you got your camera with you ? You can take a picture now if you like ?" - Can you believe it ,the only bloomin time I didn`t have the camera on me [the language in my head was slightly stronger -I`ve toned it down a tad now !] Making a complete idiot of myself I found myself saying- " I used to have a crush on you when you were in Emmerdale " he replied laughing they all say " use to "- I replied back
well-you`re not in it any more !
duh ! you would have thought I could have come up with something better than that ! after he left the shop I found myself rooted to the spot wondering did that just really happen ? ok who to phone first sister Ann , while texting Andrew- followed by hubby Ned ! !
Frazer is celebrating 50 years in showbiz- his show is full of entertaining stories, he has worked with some of the best Charlie Chaplin ,Michael Caine ,Michael York and Omar Sharif to name but a few, he will be talking of the highs and lows of showbiz life-I`am sure it will be a fascinating insight into his world, hurry some tickets are still available ! I know where I`ll be- Frazer has promised me that all important photograph wearing his supporters band !! One of my favourite sayings- You`re a star ! well now I`ve met a real one ! and he was lovely !
