After a wonderfully hectic couple of weeks I have gathered quite a few more items to be auctioned off later this year (date of auction tbc soon). 

One of my must-see TV programmes is 'Call the Midwife'. A couple of weeks ago I travelled to the Harlow Playhouse to see Laura Main (Sister Bernadette) in a production called' The Lost Dragon'. Laura kindly posed for a lovely picture and signed a copy of the Express magazine featuring an interview/photoshoot she did recently.

 

Last week I spent 5 days in New York where I managed to gather signed items / photos / autographs from, amongst others, Tom Hanks, Bertie Carvel, Andrea Martin, Nathan Lane, Stark Sands, Andrew Garfield, David Hyde Pierce, Tim Minchin, Analeigh Ashford, David Duchovny, Billy Porter, Christopher MacDonald, Alan Cumming, Matthew James Thomas and Sigourney Weaver. I hope to add some signed playbills to this collection in the weeks to come.

 

Check out the gallery below for some images from my recent travels:

 

Thanks to all the generous bidders & buyers in the recent Les Mis-themed auction. Over £200 was raised for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, which is a great to this year's fundraising efforts.
