We have just come back from a few days in Nottingham where we went to two concerts of Michael Ball.

Not only were we lucky enough to get front row tickets for both nights but as you will see from the photo below, I managed to meet Michael Ball as well (Karen Chaplin of Rothwell 18 Plus, also a Michael Ball fan will be jealous!).

There was a charity balloon race on the Wednesday afternoon which Michael launched, so we hung around the Nottingham Castle grounds to see him.

Glen took some photographs, I kissed his cheek (both Michael's and Glen's) and he signed my programme.

As I was all decked out in my Michael gear, basement cap, earrings, necklace, T-shirt, watch and bag the local BBC reporter asked me some questions and I was filmed for East Midlands Tonight.

If I keep doing these things I shall have to get myself an Agent! I have framed the photograph and put it on my dressing table, much to Glen's disgust. I must try and come down to earth now.
