30th
March 2001: Dear Everyone, Today is
Sunday and I am musing and
looking out of the window, taking
in all the different wildlife
swooping through the trees. My
nuts are proving very popular
especially with the squirrels and
pigeons. As the official
pigeon-feeder of Trafalgar Square
has lost his license I have a
feeling my patio will
become the replacement.
Anyway, I'd like to extend,
officially, a warm welcome to you
all and a big THANX for
visiting my website. Who would
have thought twenty years ago
that with a click of a
button one could gather almost
any information on any subject.
Mind you, I have to say I am
not an internet afficionado as I
am hopelessly technophobic, but
then we all have talents in
different areas don't we? I plan
to keep you posted on my
whereabouts etc. and share with
you all the juice, even my first
child., which will be a miracle
in view of my advanced years! Am
looking forward to travelling to
Cannes at the beginning of April
to attend what isostensibly a
gathering of radio and TV
executives to meet and mingle
and, hopefully, convince
worldwide programme controllers
that they would be mad not to buy
a new animated cartoon
series called The Little
Robots.
I had
tremendous fun recording it along
with other luminaries such as
Lenny Henry. We all have our own
little characters and we
live in a twilight world, with no
humans, but it is very
educational too, as we
care about the environment
etc. My character is a bit of a
drama queen and lives life like
she's in amateur dramatics -
always singing, whistling and
making loud bangs, not
surprisingly she's called
"Noisy". I can't
imagine why they asked me to play
it!!! Anyway, look out for it.
Also, I've done an edition of Songs
Of Praise. Don't worry I'm
not retraining as a vicar.
Because the programme is based
around clowns, i.e. The
International Clown
Federation's Annual
Festival, and I was once a clown
in the musical Godspell,
the director asked me to sing
"Day By Day" and I had
a great time recording it. I was
inundated with dogs, cats
and exotic birds, all made
of balloons. The programme is
being shown on April 1st. I
wonder if that should be
cause for concern! I'm also
delighted to say I am
resurrecting my one-woman-show,
something I have always had
on hold, as it is a real passion
for me. I will be performing on a
Sunday concert
basis throughout Great
Britain and when details are
firmed up I will be posting them
on the website.
As I luv
theatre more than anything I'm
really excited about the project.
Without giving too much
away at this juncture, I can
confirm the evening will consist
of all-round entertainment,
including audience participation
- but, fear not, you won't be
expected to throw
underwear or join me on
stage for humiliating rituals.
Leave that to me... And, rest
assured, my show will be
affordable and definitely value
for money. Well, that's all
for now. Have got to decide what
to wear for luncheon at Grosvenor
House next week. I've been
invited to the Television and
Radio Industries event. Another meet-and-mingle
and-eat-boring-canapes event.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Terra for
now and much love,
SU xxxx
