Great Friends, Drama teachers, Performance Partners and Sword Boxes

I've had a great end to the working week. Yesterday I drove 350 miles to go and see one of my dearest friends @SamJPaterson-Sleep. Sam is someone I've known for over 15 years and although I've not seen her for 10 years as she moved down south and I moved back to Solihull we've always kept in touch.

She was the co-creator of The Royal Boil (a fairytale for festival goers children) which was to be performed at Glastonbury (the same year Robbie performed). It sadly never happened, we got all the way to the performers gate then had a slight difference of opinion with the other performer we'd taken along. So suffice to say it was never performed.

But very soon, the Royal Boil will be re-written, extended and performed at a senior school near you (well me anyway).

Now days however, Sam is a top class Sixth Form College Drama Teacher. I can only begin to imagine how well she inspires her students to get the best out of themselves as she's a bundle of creative excellence!

Her contacts mean though that she happened to be offered a stalwart of magic illusions, called the sword box. See the pictures at the top of this post for visuals. So after her kindly holding onto it for me for a few weeks, yesterday I jumped in the Montymobile (my kids pet name for my car) and hot footed it down to Shoreham to have a long over due hug, a brew or 2 and to collect the Sword Box.

Funny how Sam was as excited as me about me having this prop as she knows my imagination will go into overdrive figuring out how to work it into the show.

I'm in such a total state of 6 year old on Christmas Eve about it that I just had to call my performance partner, Jolly Jester Jingles to chat about it as it's likely that it'll be hear shutting me in the box in the show! She's as excited about it as me, so can't wait to have a rehearsal session in it some time very soon.

For now though, it's sat in my house tempting me and my good lady wife with it's range of possibilities and how best we can refresh it to fit it more with the Medieval theme.

Stay posted for more on this but if you never hear from me again it all went horribly wrong first time out......

It's been a while, Twitter, Facebook et al have got the brunt of my postings/updates but I am determined to start putting more information on here.

So from now one this won't be so much about me, but more about the things, causes, activities etc that impact my business and life as a Court Jester.

First of all with Christmas just around the corner, I now have a Juggling equipment shop:
