On the set of Clare & Fintan’s brilliant new show! Great performance tonight from @britymt ! Maybe me and Clare should write a book together? 😉

I could be biased I suppose, but Clare and Fintan's new musical gets its world premiere this week. Performed by the outrageously talented young performers of The British Youth Music Theatre, I'm quite certain it will be brilliant.

First Mothers' Day without Mum. Missing her even more than the annual debate about the correct placement of the apostrophe.
