A London Adventure!

My weekend was hilariously fun, scary, relaxing, annoying and lovely - in the space of 36 hours. Which means finally I have an actual exciting story to tell!

My mate Tom Golding (remember the name) and I go back to Year 7 in drama class. He was the pupil at school who was the best at drama, you know, theres always one person in a school that you link with a talent - well, Tom = Drama, Drama = Tom, and throughout school he was always the good lookin funny one who everyone would want to be in a group with in drama lessons because you knew you would get a good mark (ha ha sorry tom, true). From about Year 9 we became good mates, he'd come round mine after school and half terms and drink tea, eat biscuits and wait for Britney Spears to come onto MTV. Lots of fun.

By Year 11 we were both in my favourite play The Importance of being Earnest where we played each others love interest, however we somehow managed to dodge the kisisng bit, ha ha!

Anyway! fast forward a few years and he's bagged himself the lead role in a play in London called 'Year 10'. Of course, being the supportive chum I am I book tickets as soon as with my friend Ellie who lives in London and look forward to the weekend. Go home friday night, meet her on saturday and watch the play, back to Lincoln Sunday. Lovely.

But ooooooooooooohhh noooooo, things never happen the way they are planned!

After leaving Lincoln on Friday and being delayed at Peterborough (as usual), getting home was the therapy i needed from all the work and stresses i needed to get away from a bit. After a sweet reunion with the parents and a damn good curry I sat down to have a peaceful night with Teresa, when I got a text. Ellie couldnt make Saturday, leaving me to go and see Tom myself and have no where to stay. Argh!! No worries though, Mum quickly stepped up and the next day off to London we went. It was fantastic, there is something exciting about London which I love and I'd love to stay there for a few days...hint...hint.

More importantly, the play, called 'Year 10' was great and Tom gave a great performance. Having seen him in GCSE and A level doing the majority of comedy parts, watching him perform a deep, serious and hugely touching part gave me goosebumps, and I never knew that someone could make you so engrossed in a character so much, particularly when you know the person playing it! And yes I welled up and my Mother cried. It was such a sad story but with a strong message and I recommend anyone go see it. I was well proud of my schoolmate, to go and do something you truly love and make it into a career just shows you that no matter what it is, if you really want something you just go for it and on a personal level it is quite inspiring. The exciting thing is that he is going to go onto bigger and better things and I wish him all the luck.

Wish I kissed him now...ha ha xxx

(I forgot to mention that on the way home from London I was on the same train as Sarah from Retford and we had a lovely girlie chinwag which made me very happy!! What are the chances?!!! Lots of fun!!)
