So the Manchester screening was a huge success, and afterwards, we were guided by Rod Priestley (aka Sargeant Stewart) to one of Manchester’s coolest clubs for a drinks reception and a fantastic live performance from Leonie Casanova. I have to confess that the last time I was in a club was about 15 years ago, pre-Hanan, and with my sister and her friends, when I drove them crazy the next morning by waking up ready for breakfast at 7.30 am. But I digress. Back to Manchester where we staggered to bed in the early hours after a fabulous dinner and yes, at 7.30 am I did knock on my sister's door and drag her down to breakfast...Next up – the London LGFF screening on Friday, features in the Evening Standard this week and the Guardian on Friday. But before that, the afternoon and evening beckons and I will be doing homework with the six year old (which I can keep up with) and the ten year old (forget it, I don’t think I studied that level of maths in sixth form) and then finishing the screenplay for The Dreaming Spires. Have a good evening, and I’ll be back tomorrow.
