Back home

Just back from LA on holiday. Wonderful is all I can say. We had two weeks staying in the Hollywood hills with my mate Ross King and then a week in Laguna Beach. The weather was perfect and Ross's hospitality was magnificent. The kids loved it and Jane had a well earned rest. David did a small gig in a club called Room 5. It was a singer songwriter club and he did 3 numbers at the piano. It went really well. Kate spent a fortune on clothes.....actually we all did.
On a sad note I learnt that Hazel Horner (she had been coming to my shoes for about 35 years) died of cancer. I saw her and her friend Joan at Christmas in Edinburgh and Hazel bought the tickets for next year as soon as they came on sale. Unfortunately the cancer spread very quickly and she died at the beginning of August. The Panto wont be the same without her.
The Jolson tour is coming along nicely and I will post the tour dates on my blog. Another panto meeting tomorrow to discuss costumes and script, and off to the Arcadia on Wednesday.
Bye
