I'm very lucky with the parking in Merthyr because although its only £3.50 for the WHOLE day,  I have one of my lovely  cousins living close to Merthyr labour club and he leaves me park on his drive.  Sometimes Ri Richards has a lift with me, sometimes Nicola Reynolds and sometimes Gaynor Morgan Rees.  We pile out of or into the car and take a lovely walk under the bridge, past Harps, the funeral directors, and we are there at the labour club.  So far it hasn't rained.  We are loving it.  John McGrath is a thoughtful director who makes us think.  We did all our entrances and exits on the FIRST day of rehearsal-Can you believe it?  It made it so much easier from there on in.  This is my first blog-EVER so lets see how we go-- don't be mean, keep it clean and all that.  Its Tuesday night and the Chorus have just arrived.  I'm still eating my quinoa mix.
