We had our first rehearsal of Between Severn Tides on the built set. It was not brilliant as we found we had a few technical difficulties when we moving between places and picking up cues. I missed mine!!! It was also the first rehearsal when the whole cast present! I’m sure it will be OK when we get to Friday for the opening performance. It is an interesting play written by my friend Brian. Anyone wanting a ticket for this weekend Friday or Saturday get in touch

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Cardiff yesterday.for the football. I went by train so had that lovely ride down by the Severn. Good to look across from the opposite bank for a change! I met my brother Mike and friends of his (Cardiff supporters) in the Chapter Arts Centre and enjoyed a convivial drinks together. The Mighty Hatters triumphed despite an increasing injury list compounded by three more serious injuries in the match. Fingers crossed we start getting some players back otherwise I might have to find my boots again! It has been an amazing season so far!
