Love really is what this is all about.
Love a bunch of mates I'll never forget. Each in different corners of the country, and eventually the globe. Love us in hysterics and even love us in tears. 'Cos that's what we're all there for.
Love this industry. And each niggle or annoyance or slightly-something gone wrong is worth the look on children's faces in an Oily Cart show and hearing that someone you've worked with has been inspired to pick up her flute after many years. Love the adventure of seeing a show from inception to fruition.
Love being able to ring someone at the end of the day if I'm p*ssed off, upset or feeling ill. Love that train journey every couple of weeks to have magical adventures of our own. Love the texts in the middle of the night and the whispers in my ear any time it's possible. Love private jokes and shared stories. Love him.
Love life. Love the things that we live for. Everything else in between is simply a means to an end.
Just had to get that one out.
A blog (and vlog) will come soon with all I've been up to in the past few months. Promise.
Much Love.

#ManchesterRiots
At 5:30pm 300 people in hoodies and balaclavas ran up towards the arndale in Manchester. Shops immediately closed and locked their shutters (some trapping people in) and everyone on Market Street turned on their heels and fled in the opposite direction.
I ran back to my office and hid out there. Suddenly they were all over the roadthere and I watched 7 tactical units chase them. Two police helicopters are currently in the sky over Manchester and I'm glad to say that one appears to be looking over my flat. Two police cars went past my flat in the space of 15 mins. Everyone on the streets is looking suspiciously at each other. No one trusts anyone.
Kudos go out to the Greater Manchester Police who were on the scene just seconds after I started running and are now all over the city. I have never felt so scared in my own city before. I wish the press would stop calling these people "protesters". My guess is that the people who launched themselves through the city centre earlier do not know the reasons for these riots and neither do they care.
What on earth is this world coming to?

Back again...
Hi Everyone,
Once again apologies for being away for so long, but I'll be back with some epic blogs soon - I have so much to share about Manchester International Festival, 24:7 Theatre Festival, Broken Rose and our first ever event at Contact Theatre, Manchester. Things are going really well.
I've also got a Ukulele, so that's fun! It's a Soprano, aiming to work my way up to a Concert Ukulele and eventually teach myself to play the guitar as well. Busy, busy, busy!
Anyways, I'll be back in a few days with some brightly coloured blogs with pics and vids for you. Until then, keep your eyes on the Broken Rose Website - www.brokenrose.eu, which we'll be launching again very soon.
Much love.
