York

I could get used to touring! This is going to be the longest time I’ve been out of the office in fourteen years. There’s a certain stress at not being at the point of contact for everyone, but there are marvellous compensations. It’s great to be doing two different shows – there is no sense of doing the same show twice. And when you’re in a fantastic city like York, there is no end of wonderful places to go between or after shows. Pims at Plonkers, a trip up Clifford’s Tower, a walk round the Minster, tea at Betty’s, a stroll through Fairfax House, a boat ride up the river and great restaurants for every meal! Yes, touring has its attractions! And with Canterbury, Edinburgh, Oxford and Bristol ahead of us – this could be judged as a good idea!
