I love my job. For those that care, I got to spend my day making chocolate orange cupcakes, milk choc cookies, pear and berry crumble, granola bars, salad selections, and being nice to people.

Band arrive tomorrow so sure it'll all turn manic then!! Got such a nice crew on this which makes everything ten million times more bareable. Weathers improving too so hurrah! Have a late check out on Sunday before flying to Athens, Si and I were talking about renting bikes and cycling all along the coast being a tourist (when in Rome..) hotels got a gym and sauna so know what I'm up to tonight!

Miss and love to all back home, hope all's okay etc etc x

New discovery!

Not one for fizzy drinks but tropical 7up is definitely brilliant.

Survived first day! Met most of the crew, all really sound, genuine, lovely people. Looking forward to upcoming months as confident this nice vibe will uphold.

Bit of a pain loading it, literally didn't have anything so Si had to leave and do epic shop. Missed having a staple gun to attach a million tablecloths and skirting, damn you Wendy! All good though. Got to make cakes, flapjack and salad all day, can't complain! Highlight was meeting set designer, Anton what's his name (director of Control and shot loads of Depeche and Joy Division videos back in the day). Said he liked my cheesecake, we're best mates.

Band arrive tomorrow so sure it'll all kick off then! Lots of love and misses to people back home x

Come all the way to Nice and it's still raining!

Arrived in Nice!

Before


Hello! So, I thought it be interesting to do a Before and After (maybe even a few during!) tour photos.

This is me, happy because it's Saturday and fresh from a horrendous week teaching 10 year old children. 6am wake ups don't frighten me here because I'm in bed and usually asleep by 9pm. Those precious 9 hours mean everything during the week. Counting down the days until 5 hours seems like a luxury !

Depeche Mode

My new mates!

Been a respectful amount of time since I posted on here. Mixture of emotions reading old posts back - time is so precious. Took me 'til 23 to realize you can't buy or regain it. How you spend time has become the most important thing to me (as it should to all!) and I have no regrets. None, I tell, thee!

A few raised eyebrows and 'did I really?!' moments but all learning experiences.

So here we go! Depeche 2013.



Bring it on you beautiful electro weirdos. Memories of dancing round my room to Personal Jesus soon to be replaced with twenty something hour bus rides to the depths of obscure Russian locations. I cannot wait. See below our future dates, I intend on updating you with pictures and posts as regularly as I can.
