Me looking brave before taking to the air (and the wing) of the plane. Wow, it was cold !! But the whole experience was totally exhilarating.

Jan's Blog
Computers and the internet are amazing things. One of my concerns with putting together this site was that it could remain current, yet with all my travelling I've often much to say, but little time to say it. Years ago when reading the news it would take me days on end to reply to the kind letters people sent. Now, with the magic of the modern age, I can keep you up to date with what I'm doing and other events in my life.
VANDALISM AGAIN
Date: 24th November 2009
VANDALISM AGAIN In the words of Victor Meldrew 'I don't believe it'. After my experience at Dover Priory a mere ten days ago when a mindless vandal smashed my passenger window, I parked my car in the Multi-Storey Car Park in Canterbury yesterday from 2.00 - 5.30. And when I returned to it all Four... Read more...
THE REAL CALENDAR GIRLS and Kelly Brooks
Date: 15th November 2009
THE REAL CALENDAR GIRLS We are now into our second week and we are playing to packed houses. It's absolutely lovely to be part of such a successful show - even though in a small part. This week we've been visited by the 'Real' Calendar Girls - Tricia (Chris) and Angela (Annie). They've been to the... Read more...
DOVER PRIORY and VANDALISM
Date: 14th November 2009
VANDALISM again. I've not been looking forward to all the Train travel especially as the curtain comes down too late for me to catch the ridiculously early last train to Walmer - 10.00 pm. It wouldn't be so bad if there were a connection from Dover Priory or Canterbury West where one could link to Walmer - but... Read more...
CALENDAR GIRLS - AUSTRALIA AND CAPE TOWN
Date: 11th November 2009
I understand that Calendar Girls is going to be staged in both Australia and Cape Town. In Cape Town the show will be produced at the Theatre on the Bay at Camps Bay. I would imagine that CG will start off in Sydney, Australia. I would be thrilled to bits if I could play a part in either place.... Read more...
CALENDAR GIRLS
Date: 10th November 2009
We opened on Tuesday, 3rd November to a very receptive audience. We have a very strong and united cast showing a wealth of talent. The play is so well written that every actor has a cameo within their role whether that is large or small. Tim Firth is, in my opinion, a brilliant writer with a great... Read more...
COMMUTING WITH SOUTHEAST AND SOUTHWEST TRAINS
Date: 9th November 2009
Nearly went mad trying to decide how best I could sort out the regular commute to London. I haven't had to commute since I was in my late teens and working as a Secretary at BBC Broadcasting House in London. And then in the 80's I gave up using trains and tubes because of 'recognition' - I enjoy talking to... Read more...
CATCH UP
Date: 8th November 2009
CATCH UP Hi folks, I've been in London all this week with the opening of Calendar Girls and, consequently been away from my Computer and the Internet. Loads to tell you but have got to get down to the Washing, ironing, emails and general chores, so please allow me a day's grace and I'll get back to... Read more...

He is an actor, as well as a writer and director and his approach is one of building you up and getting the best out of you - as... Read more...
DEADLY WHEELIES
Date: 1st November 2009
DEADLY WHEELIES The other evening - I was going to a Battle of Britian Memorial Fund Function at the RAF Club. Of course I'd left my Poppy at home and thought I couldn't possibly go to the Club 'Poppyless'. So on Green Park station I purchased another - stepped back and fell backwards over a Wheelie Case...
