I would like to add that Lorraine Chase was so lovely and complimentary and couldn't have been nicer. She really went out of her way to make time for everyone. Alexandra was lovely as ever and looked lovely and really rallied around to make sure the event went well. The animals were well behaved and loved all the attention they got. The good news is they will be having a TV series made about the charity which will be filmed over the next year with the finale being filmed at the Open Weekend so we may get seen on it if we are free to attend next years event.

( 2.9 / 151 )Just a quick note to say Sean and I will be attending an amazing charity event this coming weekend and if your in the area and want a brilliant day out then please try and come along and support this worthy charity.
Alexandra Bastedos Champions Animal Sanctuary Open Weekend, there are lots of things happening with a few famous faces popping down including Alexandra and showing their support. The event also coincides with the village fair so there will be a great atmosphere and the weather looks like its going to be great too, plus there is a Pimms tent!!
Check out the website and try to come along, we will be dressed as Xena and Jack Sparrow and helping them raise some much needed funds, also come and see all the animals!

( 3 / 140 )Can you believe it is 30 years ago when we were first were exposed to the excitement of ESB! Wow makes me feel old
The UKG descended on the National Space Centre to celebrate the occasion with its usual array of Star Wars characters with some great new costumes too. The star signings were kept busy by the crowds who flocked down to the Space Centre on one of the hottest weekends yet. Warwick Davis was there on the Sunday promoting his new auto-biography "Size Matters Not" which I am part the way reading through myself, a great read and recommended. On the Saturday I was treated to having Alan Harris attend as part of the star line up. For those of you not so Star Wars savvy, he is best known for playing the character Bossk, the lizard Bounty Hunter from ESB. This was the excuse I needed to dig my Bossk costume out for another outing! Typical the weekend I wear a full latex head, it's the hottest weekend! Pretty horrible to wear with the heat and lack of vision due to the lenses misting up but it was still enjoyable and great to see the kids reactions and recognizing the character. Shame we couldn't manage the full bounty hunter line up from the movie but we looked great all the same.
I was over the moon with Alans response and praise for the costume and he couldn't be a more friendlier, nicer chap. I hope he will be along to another event with the UKG.
A special mention also goes to the Replica Prop Forum boys with their amazing display of movie props, well done guys as ever a brilliant job.
Thanks to Sean for taking some great photo's over the weekend and looking after Russ and myself on the Sunday as we could both hardly see out of our masks! :D
A big thanks to all the guys and gals of the UKG who made this event happen and all the spotters who kept an eye on us all. And a big pat on the back to all those who ran the side events through the day, Jedi School, Droid Hunt, Photo Stand who in total over the weekend raised over £1000 for charity! Whoo!!
Alan Harris (Bossk) with us Bounty Hunters!

( 3 / 86 )Here is the second Schweppes commercial I was in, such a shame it's only ever going to be shown on TV in Israel and not elsewhere, but hey I'm not complaining!
Again thanks goes to Niva for helping source the footage

( 2.9 / 101 )Well just finished a week filming on Harry Potter which was lots of fun. I was playing a typist in the Ministry of Magic and had my own wand which was very cool. I can't really say anymore about it and not even sure if I will be seen but it was a great experience and I look forward to see the film when it's released.
I went to see the new Robin Hood film the other night and I have to admit I was disappointed! Apart from my scenes either being cut or edited to next to nothing I found the film had no real direction, the strongest character was Marion with Robin Hood difficult to connect with and the Merry Men whith no depth or background. I just hope my scene is an extra on the dvd when it's released
Just watched the student film I was in the other night, Shakespeare's Curse. A nice little film and if it ends up on YouTube I will post a link.
I along with the UK Garrison will be at the Space Centre in Leicester this coming weekend for the 30th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. So if your at a loose end this weekend come along!
Later
Jo
