Beautiful Malvern

We have had a lovely week in beautiful Malvern; Country Walks, Curry Night, Sarah and Jon's gorgeous Chilli Night, Trips to the Church, as well as Understudy Rehearsals and 8 shows!

I think our girl's pad has to be my favourite digs so far. It was a house on a hill overlooking the whole of Malvern - I think we all felt a bit like we were on holiday. The boys were also in a lovely (well, not quite as lovely as ours ;-) house just down the road, so we made the most of our surroundings with dinner parties and brunches. It was Tim VE's birthday, so we had the perfect excuse :-)

On Wednesday, we went for a company curry after the show. Everybody came which was very exciting as it was the first time we had all been for a meal with everyone there. We had a very jolly time  although Alastair wasn't quite as prepared for his Vindaloo as he thought. "It's really not that hot...(hyperventilates in the corner)"




Team Birdsong



We made the most of our rural surroundings and went on several walks. Josh assured us the view really was great from where we were standing but sadly we had to take his word for it as "the mist came right up to our eyeballs.!"

Despite all being at the height of fitness....we needed to stop for some water and thought of nothing better than the gorgeous Malvern fresh spring water...



We all drunk the gorgeous fresh water...

...before noticing this...oops.


This week I also helped our wonderful Emily Stride do the pre-set for the play. I say helped, I asked lots of questions and filmed. Not only does Emily play Marguerite (and many other characters), but she is also our ASM. (Assistant Stage Manager) Amongst other things, this means she is in charge of setting all the props backstage ready for the show. She was kind enough to show me all she gets up to...
