In a panic before the new year, finally got around to editing together my highlight of 2025: watching @redrosesrugby win the World Cup with my dad and sister 🥰 🏆

'Suite in Three Keys', Orange Tree Theatre/Theatre Royal Bath, May - July 2024 (Posting this so late, but it's before my next show starts so it's fiiiine...) Massive shout out to the absolute loveliest cast a stage manager could ever ask for who had the insane job of learning 3 plays, (tens of thousands of words!), doing 9 shows a week, and getting through the most intense tech/preview period I have ever experienced. You are all amazing. And to the incredible soufflé making geniuses/ASM legends Claire and Judith, and the glue that holds OT productions together, Priya. I have NO idea what I would have done without the three of you. ❤️ .

Ah, yes. That time I performed a ballet solo to a dramatic reading of a Douglas Adams poem by @thestorybeast on the stage of the Royal Geographical Society dressed as a rhino in a tutu. 🦏🩰 . This totally normal day is now immortalised in @kjond42 's new book, '42 - The Wildly Improbable Ideas of Douglas Adams'. Make sure you get your copy before Earth is destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass! 📖 . . Thanks for the heads up @tdrury . #InAllGoodBookShops #DouglasAdams #DouglasAdamsMemorialLecture #StandUpForTowelDay #HitchhikersGuide #h2g2 #HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy

Yesterday we went to see Dodger, our last @guidedogsuk pup, whilst he was training. It was so lovely to see him one last time before he gets paired up with a human and to see him at work. Look at that face. 😍
