The Wedding of Ian Mayson & Andrea Hunter 2014

 Andrea putting on the final touches of lipstick as she dreams of her wedding day ahead of her.

Pastel shades of blue, lilac and pink gave a vintage slant to Andrea's beautiful bouquet.  Gilt mirrors and a four poster bed added to the grandeur of this special day.

Breath taking views of the fells from Irton, Holmrook church ensured special photographs.

CONGRATULATIONS!  kate Simmons School of Dance.

Emotional and creative choreography by Kate Simmons make this new ballet a gripping drama.  It is a first for the school as the music has been composed for the ballet and it was played by a 12 piece orchestra for the three performances held at the spacious and modern theatre, the Brindley in Runcorn.  A packed house on the Sunday evening resulted in a standing ovation for this tragic but exquisite ballet.  Superb dancing by Jenny Hackwell, dancing Mary. Joe Bentley dancing George.  Edward the king  danced by Sam Jones, who kept up strong acting throughout the ballet.  Finally but not least Rachel Teeling-Smith as Mrs Simpson.  Danced and acted superbly.  Her demure look in the beginning of the ballet soon developed into a ruthless character, who would stop at nothing to secure her goals.  She succeeded ....... but at what cost.
The audience were left wanting more, which is the sign of a great work!

'The Daring Dolphins and the Divebombers' is now in Waterstones Teddington

'The Daring Dolphins and the Divebombers' can now be bought in Waterstones in Teddington.
It can be seen in the window next to Beatrix Potter's 'Peter Rabbit'

I read the book to 9 classes at Hampton Wick Infant School.  The children sat enthralled and afterwards asked lots of questions.  I talked a little about the Blue Whale and also the Dolphins and the calls they make in the sea.  The noises they make and the way they communicate is part of my story.

My book can also be bought on my web site. www.elainemaysonbooks.co.uk

HARRYS BAR IN MAYFAIR LONDON

Harrys Bar decorated and prepared for a special birthday party.  Flame throwers and stilt walkers welcomed the guests.  Champagne flowed as a flamenco guitarist provided music inside with a magician entertaining the children and adults as they stood around chatting.
The birthday girl wore a stunning black and white long dress by Vera Wang.  All the guests were asked to wear black and white in this spectacular party.
Each of the female guests received a Chanel scarf in a box.  Speeches were made by the children and husband.
The meal was provided by Harrys Bar in Italian fashion.  Good service and friendly staff.
An up and coming Opera singer serenaded the party before the cakes were brought into the room.
More speeches and the disco sprang to life.  A small dance floor but enthusiastic guests gyrated to a saxophonist who accompanied the disco beat.  Party hats and plastic glasses were donned and  Ra ra sticks waved.  A good time was had by all!
