I HOPE NO-ONE MINDS ME POSTING THIS HERE, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO COVER UP ANN'S FABULOUS THREAD AND VIDEO.
WE SET OFF ON THURSDAY, HAD LEO TOO, AS NO-ONE WAS FREE TO LOOK AFTER HIM. JIM LIVES AT CRYSTAL PALACE, NOT TOO FAR FROM WIMBLEDON, SO HE WOULD HAVE HIM FOR THE DAY. WE DON'T LIKE LEAVING OUR DOG ON HIS OWN FOR TOO MANY HOURS, AND WE KNEW WE WOULD BE A LONG TIME.
WHEN WE GOT TO VERA'S SHE INVITED US BOTH TO STAY TO LUNCH, BLESS HER, KEITH HAD TO TAKE LEO, BUT I WAS DELIGHTED TO ACCEPT, AND IT WAS GREAT. I ALWAYS LOVE TO SEE MICK AND ROBBIE TOO, AND IT SEEMED TO MAKE MORE SENSE THAN GOING IN TOO EARLY, AS THE WEATHER WAS A BIT UNCERTAIN.
WE SET OFF MID AFTERNOON, AS WE HAD ARRANGED TO MEET UP WITH JUNE AND JEAN AT WETHERSPOONS . THE WEATHER WAS FINE AND SUNNY AT WIMBLEDON, I SPOTTED ANDREA, MARIA AND SARAHJANE OUTSIDE THE STAGE DOOR, SO VERA AND I WENT UP TO SAY HALLO. IT WAS LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN GIRLS, THE LAST TIME I THINK WAS AT THE PANTO 2 YEARS AGO, FAR TOO LONG!
WE WENT IN WETHERSPOONS AND HAD A CHAT, THEN AFTER SOME TIME JUNE TEXTED TO SAY THEY WERE GETTING A TAXI, MAUREEN WAS ALSO STAYING WITH THEM, AND I HADN'T SEEN HER SINCE JOSEPH.
ELAINE, BRIAN AND LINDA WALKED UP THE ROAD COS MAUREEN WAS GOING TO MEET UP WITH THEM, SO IT WAS GREAT WHEN SHE GOT OUT OF THE TAXI AND CAME IN TO SEE VERA AND I. THEN SHE WENT OFF TO JOIN ELAINE'S PARTY.
WE STAYED IN WETHERSPOONS UNTIL IT WAS TIME TO GO TO THE SHOW. I WAS ABLE TO CHAT AGAIN WITH MARIA, SJ AND ANDEA COS THEY SAT PARALLEL TO US. YOU KNOW I ALWAYS LOVE TO SEE YOU GIRLS!
WHEN WE WENT TO GET OUR SEATS, WE SAW ANN AND PETER, THEY HAD NOT REALISED WE WERE OVER THERE, AND HAD BEEN WAITING OUTSIDE FOR US, BUT WERE REWARDED FOR THEIR EFFORTS COS THEY SAW GARETH. HE IS PRETTIER THAN US ANN LOL!
THE SHOW WAS VERY SLICK, FAST, AND ENERGETIC. IF ANYONE WANTS TO KNOW MY THOUGHTS, MY BLOG IS BELOW GARETH SANG 5 NUMBERS, I COULD HAVE DONE WITH EVEN MORE THAN THAT! HE GOT A HUGE RESPONSE EVERY TIME HE CAME ON, AND THERE WAS A LITTLE SMILE PLAYING ROUND HIS LIPS, I THINK HE LOVES THE SUPPORT OF HIS FANS, IT MEANS A LOT, AND WE CLAPPED AND CHEERED EVERY TIME HE CAME ON .
HE STARTED WITH CLOSE EVERY DOOR, SO EMOTIONAL, UM SUNG WITH A NEW MATURE SOUND, HIS VOICE IS RICH AND STRONG, BUT ALWAYS PURE AND CLEAR, AND HE PUTS SUCH EMOTION INTO EVERYTHING HE SINGS, AND THE AUDIENCE GET HIM BECAUSE HE SINGS FROM HIS SOUL. I AM SURE HE MADE EVEN MORE NEW FANS THAT NIGHT.
BUT THE HIGHLIGHT WAS WHY GOD WHY, ALL THE LAST 11 YEARS HAVE MADE GARETH INTO THE CONFIDENT AND AMAZING SINGER THAT HE IS, AND IT SHOWS. HE WAS PURE CLASS! I HAD A TEAR IN MY EYE TOO.
THE WHOLE TEAM WORKED HARD TO GIVE US A GREAT NIGHT, WITH WONDERFUL SONGS, THE DANCING WAS FUN AND ENERGETIC, AND THEY ALL DID VERY WELL.
AFTER WE WENT TO THE STAGE DOOR. IT ENDED TOO EARLY, AND KEITH WASN'T THERE WITH THE CAMERA, AS I HAD TOLD HIM 10 O,CLOCK. I DIDN'T EXPECT TO MEET GARETH OR HAVE A PIC, BUT I DO LOVE TO SEE HIM SURROUNDED BY ENTHUSIASTIC FANS OF ALL AGES.
WHILST WE WERE WAITING 2 PEOPLE CAME UP AND TAPPED VERA ON THE ARM AND ASKED HER HOW SHE WAS. WHEN THEY HAD GONE SHE ASKED ME WHO THEY WERE. I DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE, AS THEY HADN'T LOOKED IN MY DIRECTION, AND DON'T REMEMBER ALL THE FACES, THERE ARE SO MANY FANS. NEVER MIND, THEY KNEW HER ;D
WHEN GARETH CAME OUT I CAN ONLY LIKEN IT TO A RUGBY SCRUM. PEOPLE WERE PUSHING AND SHOVING TO GET TO HIM, SO I HELD BACK. BUT MY LITTLE CROWD REMAINED UNDAUNTED, AND THEY WERE GOING UP TO HIM. I REMEMBERED WHAT GARETH HAD SAID TO ME WHEN I WAS WITH ANN AT JOSEPH ONE DAY, AND THERE WERE CROWDS OF GIRLS WAITING TO SEE HIM. I HAD SAID. " BUT THEY MIGHT HAVE NOT MET YOU BEFORE," AND GARETH SAID. " IT DOESN'T MATTER." I THINK HE LIKES TO SEE HIS FAITHFULS.
I WAS PUSHED FROM BEHIND, I WAS A BIT SCARED COS I COULDN'T MOVE, THEN SUDDENLY I WAS PROPELLED FORWARD, ALMOST INTO GARETH'S ARMS. I WISH!!! I SAW SARAHJANE ON THE STEP AT THE SIDE OF HIM.I THOUGHT SHE WAS WAITING HER TURN, OR MAYBE SHE HAD ALREADY SEEN HIM, BUT HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT SHE WAS TRAPPED. HUN I AM SO SORRY, IF I HAD KNOWN I WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU OUT OF THE CROWD WITH ME.
GARETH GAVE ME A HUG, AND I KISSED HIS SOFT NECK OR CHEEK, CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH, HE SAID IT WAS LOVELY TO SEE ME, AND I TOLD HIM IT WAS A FANTASTIC SHOW.HE THEN SIGNED BOTH MY TICKET AND PROGRAMME, AND ROBBIE, BLESS HIM HAD SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GET UP THERE WITH HIS CAMERA, AND HE TOOK MY PIC. THAT WAS SUCH A SURPRISE TO ME, AND I KNOW WHEN HE HAS TIME, HE WILL EMAIL IT TO ME TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL.
I WENT TO GET OUT OF IT, AND POOR VERA WAS STILL TRAPPED FROM HER TURN. JONATHON SAID TO HER "ARE YOU FOR ME COS THERE ARE 2 QUEUES,?"2 AND VERA SAID NO, SO HE SAID YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE THEN, BUT SHE SAID "I AM TRAPPED."
EVENTUALLY WE GOT OUT OF IT, AND THEN A LOVELY LADY STARTED TALKING TO ME. SHE WAS THERE WITH HER DAUGHTER, AND REMEMBERED ME FROM MAIDSTONE. I DON'T KNOW HER NAME. BUT WE ARE MEETING UP AT SKEGGY SOON.
VIVIENNE ALSO CAME UP FOR A CHAT, SHE'S DONE SOME LOVE LY PHOTOS OF GARETH FOR MM, WHICH I HAVE BEEN SHARING AROUND FACEBOOK. I KNOW SHE IS A MEMBER ON HERE, BUT DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO POST, SO I HOPE YOU GET TO READ THIS VIVIENNE.
KEITH ARRIVED WHEN ALL THE EXCITEMENT WAS OVER, COMPLETE WITH LEO, AND HE WAS VERY SORRY THAT HE HAD MISSED SEEING ANN AND PETER. NEVER MIND, WE WILL BE MEETING UP AGAIN SOON.
WE ALL WENT OVER TO THE BAR FOR A DRINK, AND I HAD A LARGE GLASS OF WINE. I DON'T USUALLY DRINK, BUT WAS FEELING A BIT APPREHENSIVE AS THERE ARE STRESSFUL THINGS GOING ON IN MY LIFE AT THE MOMENT.
ELAINE AND HER PARTY WERE FURTHER UP THE BAR, AND I MANAGED TO SPEAK TO LINDA WHEN THEY CAME PAST, AND SAY IT WAS NICE TO SEE HER AGAIN, AND THEN MAUREEN LEFT THEM COS THEY WERE GOING HOME, AND CAME OVER TO JOIN OUR PARTY.
JUNE, YOU NAUGHTY GIRL BOUGHT ME ANOTHER GLASS OF WINE, AND MY HEAD WAS A BIT WHIRLY, BUT THEN THE FUN STARTED. MAUREEN AND I WERE ABLE TO HAVE A LOVELY CHAT, I HAVEN'T SEEN HER SINCE 2009, ALTHOUGH WE DO KEEP IN TOUCH OCCASIONALLY BY EMAIL, COS WE BOTH HAVE VERY BUSY LIVES.
WE TALKED SO MUCH COS MY KEITH CAN TALK THE HIND LEG OFF A DONKEY, WE EVENTUALLY GOT SLUNG OUT COS THEY WANTED TO CLOSE. NO WE WEREN'T ROWDY I PROMISE YOU, BUT IT WAS SO LOVELY TO LET OUR HAIR DOWN.!
I HOPE YOU ARE LAUGHING NOW, THIS REPORT IS NOT TO BE TAKEN TOO SERIOUSLY!
WE TOOK THE GIRLS BACK TO THE TRAVELODGE, AND WENT HOME FINALLY ARRIVING AT 3AM, AND I STILL FEEL EXHAUSTED.
I WANT TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO VERA, MICK AND ROBBIE FOR A WONDERFUL DAY, ALSO JUNE AND JEAN FOR THEIR LOVELY COMPANY, AND FUN, AND DEAR ANN AND PETER FOR THEIR CONTINUING SUPPORT OF ME. I KNOW I AM LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH GENUINE FRIENDS IN YOU ALL, AND WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT I COULD NOT HAVE COPED WITH THE DAY.
ALSO TO DEBBIE AND H, I HAVE NEVER MET EITHER OF YOU, BUT NOT ONLY DO YOU DO AN AMAZING JOB TO KEEP THIS FORUM A SAFE AND FRIENDLY PLACE TO MEEET AND POST ON, YOU WERE THERE FOR ME LAST WEEK WHEN I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO COPE WITH GOING, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING TO MY TROUBLES, AND GIVING ME THE PUSH I NEEDED SO MUCH TO COPE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL, AND ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU.
