I have had a bit of a lazy time after getting back from my camping holiday with my brother.  We had a great time, fishing, coasteering and mountain biking.   However, this week,  I went for the read through on the new BBC Drama ‘Outcast’ and met a lot of well known actors.  We all sat around a big table and read through our parts.  I also had to go and do some physical practise for the part, I won’t give anything away! My hair has grown longish again but it is coming off on Saturday for the new drama,...

On Thursday I went to try on various costumes for my next assignment.  I have never been to Angels before and I was amazed at the size of the place.   As the world’s largest supplier of outfits to cinema, stage and television, Angels is home to more than eight miles of clothing rails.

Yesterday, I finished a 4 day course to improve my riding.  We did quite a lot of training indoors and we also went on several hacks in the forest at Trent Park in Hertfordshire.  It was really good fun and I really liked Byron, my allotted pony.  He was a bit of a character and if you look closely at the picture, you will see he has a little moustache and he kept sticking his tongue out.   The weather was great too, we had sunshine every day and it was very tiring but still enjoyable.
