No filter...

...has been used in the taking of this photo. This is simply how I appear backstage at Panto having just been touched-up (make-up wise).

It's quite a striking effect and I'm told looks good under the lights.

Anything that covers up my ugly mug, should be a good thing.

Two shows today, which was pretty full-on, but made entirely worthwhile with two very tight, proud cuddles from the wee ones when they saw me after the matinee.

I'd be lying if I said that I didn't have a lump in my throat after that particular encounter! 

Nice tea in between shows with members of the cast, but cuts are required to the show which is too long!
