Hard luck to ‘Stepping Up’ at the Kids Bafta Awards.  Still they were nominated and they did win RTSNorthwest Best Children’s show.   Doing anything this Sunday.  Go to Barnet High Street for the Christmas Fair.  See the stalls, go to the church for the carols or pop into the Bull Theatre for the show.

All fingers crossed and best wishes to LAProductions’ Colin McKeown and director Julia Ford for the Children’s Bafta nomination for STEPPING UP.  The Bafta event is tomorrow, Sunday and I voted for Stepping Up, of course. Stepping Up The move from primary to secondary school can be an exciting but sometimes daunting one, and Stepping Up – a brand new drama series for CBBC – focuses on children who are experiencing this transition. The 5×28 minute stand-alone dramas, which will be penned by five different writers, will be themed around the new challenges children face when moving into this new and...

I finished my PADI diving course today.  It was really exciting but it was also quite hard and very, very cold. We went to a quarry in Hampshire and the first morning was icy  and it almost  put me off.  Then I decided to persevere and I am really  glad I did so because, now I have my certificate! Yay!!!   This is me with my buddy Seb, we look like a pair of turtles!   I am just thinking about getting in that freezing water again! And finally our group of very happy divers.  We all passed!!!   The...

Ha.  it is my birthday today and the cast and crew at the  recording studio sang happy birthday to me.  It was a great day with lots of fun during the recordings.  I got to see the control room and it looked very complicated. I had my photograph taken outside with Miranda Richardson and Lee Ingleby.   Everybody has been great. Last day tomorrow 🙁  

I will be thirteen this week.  People say that being 13 is supposed to be a milestone but I don’t feel any different and I don’t want to grow up yet!  I like being a kid.   My mum got me a padi dive course for my birthday and I hope I will get my qualification soon.  The other boy in the picture is Ed, he is doing the course too and he is 12.  I really enjoy it and I hope to learn about underwater camera work.   I think this is what you would call an ironic photograph…...
