One Final Holiday

Nottingham, Wimbledon & Norwich were the venues visited during October, before our fifth and final week’s holiday from the tour. The holidays have been perfectly peppered throughout the year, and this one, timing well with Halloween and a Holiday in Germany, made it the perfect opportunity to visit my sister in Nuremberg, where she herself is performing in a show. A fascinating city, for its Franconian legacies, a unique Red Beer, Bavarian architecture and the huge impact National Socialism and World War 2 had on the area.

Wimbledon was a great opportunity to invite fellow London friends to come and see the show, as well as agents, producers, etc. so unsurprisingly the entire week sold out! Norwich was equally wonderful - I have a handful of friends who live there now, and, coupled with the excellent cafes and restaurant, meant we were well fed & watered as we caught up. It was also the perfect time of year to visit the coast just past the Norfolk Broads to watch all the grey seals come ashore.

And so we move into the final leg of the tour! We hit a handful of week-long venues this November, before turning attention to a longer run in Salford for Christmas. More on that next time!
