Edith has been slaving away, with a band of very loyal and committed fellow students, at a production of The Real Inspector Hound by Sir Tom Stoppard for the past 6 months. She founded the sixth form drama club in the autumn and this is the result. They opened last night to an ecstatic audience, second (and last) performance is tonight.
Brilliant and efficient direction, very funny acting and everyone pulling out all the stops 100%. There was a palpable sense of co-operation, warmth and team effort such as Sir Alan Sugar will never see on his stupid TV show. What a talented bunch of students Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School has - and what a lovely daughter we have.

Hello Sarah. Thank you for leaving a comment on my weblog [Keep Thinking, Butch] concerning Nick Ferrari and his affiliation with Press TV. I certainly will keep you updated. It may interest you to know, as you have written for the Evening Standard, that another journalist is also working for Press TV. I admire him very much and his name is Andrew Gilligan. I wonder if he is aware of Press TV's rather shady team members? I look forward to reading your many weblogs, and apologise in advance for the occasionally potty-mouthed nature of my own. Thanks again for commenting.
