Its me, Miss Francesca Sandford doing the blog today! Lol I Hope your all good and enjoyed the sun!
We had such a good time in Bournemouth, the weather couldn’t of come at a better time. We got to spend our days chilling out on the beach catching a tan. Then spend the evening doing the show, what more could a girl want?! I had to keep reminding myself that I wasn’t actually on holiday! We were extra excited because after the show we were going home that night to sleep in our own beds!
I woke up this morning thinking I had loads to do, but my Mum had done all my washing before I even got up! How lovely is that?! So everything’s fresh and ready to be re-packed now! Ha . So I took that as an opportunity to take full advantage of the sun! I put my heels, sunglasses and summer dress on got in the car and put the roof down! I stopped by to see my second family!
(my best friends Mum and Sis) Had a quick catch up on all the gossip, I don’t want to fall behind now do i?! And got some bits and bobs to pack.
Isn’t it funny how running errands is fun on a sunny day?!
In the evening we had a fitting for the video. We were all excited to see what the stylist had in store for us. It was so fun…it’s like shopping but better, because all the best stuff has been picked out for you!
Everyone is going to look amazing. I’m not giving away any hints so you’re just going to have to wait and see when it comes out!
Anyway im going to stop blabbering on now and get back to chilling out with Una!
Yeyy so it’s my time to write the blog!! Hope you’re all well and enjoying our diary of the tour!! We’re having just the BEST time ever!! Every day i wake up and literally jump out of bed with excitement!!
So yesterday we had a 10 hour car journey, yes i repeat 10 HOURS, from Glasgow to Bournemouth!! Wowza!! It was full on, but of course us Saturdays made it fun fun fun and had lots of adventures!! I have to say though, i was trying to get the girls to join in with my VERY fun car journey games, and it wasn’t until the last hour that they actually gave in and played, woo!! 20 questions, writing songs, oh we had it all!!! Good times!! 🙂 …although they won’t admit it!! Haha!
Bournemouth is LOVELY!!!! Our hotel is right by the sea! Una, Frank and I went for a stroll this morning (feeling very touristy with our sunglasses on, oh yes!) and then had some lunch in the sunshine!! …Perfect!
We were all extra nervous about performing this evening because our super-cool choreographer Kate was coming to watch, so we really wanted to impress her and make her proud!! After having eaten slightly too much chocolate cake at dinner (oops!), i squeezed into my costume and got ready for SHOW TIME baby!! We banged out the moves though and the crowd were awesome!!
We’re now just back in the room chilling out and are about to head down to the beach for a little evening walk, so i better go!!!!
Hope you’re all well! Thanks for reading!!!
And as Usher says “Peace up, A-town down”! Hahaha!!!
Hope everyone is well. Weve just finished doing our second show in Glasgow and it was so much fun. I’m still buzzing! There was a lovely warmth about the crowd here which is always really nice!
Me and Una didnt hear our alarm this morning and missed breakfast. We literally ran down the stairs in our pjs with no makeup on and had to eat in like 5 minutes. I was actually still in my dream……what a sight!
Rochelle’s just come into mine and Una’s room and we’ve ordered room service which I am overly excited about. Its so nice to have your girls with you, we were just saying today how hard it must be if you were a solo artist because most of the time you’d have to go back to your hotel with no one but yourself. I would be soo bored and wouldn’t know what to do….o gosh im blabbing now sorry guys lol! Im just gonna quickly tell you about tomorrow and I’ll be done, promise! We’ve got to get up really early (I hope I make it) and then we’re travelling by car to Bournemouth. Its gonna be like an 8 hour drive!! I’m going to try and sleep there!
I’m signing out now, girls gotta get their beauty sleep lol!!
Its our second stay in Glasgow, but tonight was our first performance here!! Its kind of scary performing to a new crowd because you don’t know what the reaction may be! But it has to be said the Scotts didn’t let us down!!
Before we went on stage we had a catch up with Nadine from G/A discussing nerves and more importantly outfits haha!!!! I have to say the girls certainly pull out all of the stops when it comes to costumes!! Also there entrance onto stage is AMAZING!!!!! So if your coming to watch the show your in for a treat!! You’ll get yourself a double wammy, Girls Aloud and The Saturdays!!
The only down fall on this tour so far is the food! Its sssoooooo good i can hardly fit into my dress!!! The desserts are way too tempting!
So i woke up at 7.45 today to do some running at the gym (well try to run) so, i made myself feel a bit better!!
If you haven’t been to Glasgow before then you should, its a really buzzing city and the shops are REALLY good!!
I have found my self lost at a check-out a few times already, its terrible because we’ve only just arrived!! i blame Vanessa she makes me buy everything! (although i do return the favour haha)
Its so much fun being away with four of your mates every night is like one big sleep over!! I bought goodies today so we might have a midnight feast haha (that’s if i can stay up)
I suppose your completely bored of me rambling on now aren’t you?!! So I’ll say goodnight to you all!!
But if you want a chat or want me to find out any gossip (I’m good at that) then you know where i am!!
This is my first blog to you all so going to start with a quick update on how the tour is going so far. We left London on Friday at 7am and drove to hollyhead to catch a Ferry to Dublin and from there drove to Belfast… total of 11 hours travel! We had 3 great gigs in Belfast, I was so nervous for the 1st gig because I have never performed in front of thousands of people in all my life so I was shaking but adrenaline is always a good thing! On the first night we met two of the members of girls aloud… Cheryl and Kimberly, they came into our dressing room and had a nice chat with us and told us how nervous they used to feel, its was really reassuring, they were really lovely and encouraging to us. We got to watch their show after and it was spectacular! Hopefully one day we will get to do a show like theirs, but not without fans, as without fans it wouldn’t be possible, so we NEED you! We really appreciate everyone who posts comments on our forums.
I am writing this from my hotel room in Glasgow, we arrived here today by Ferry from Belfast. It is a really beautiful City
I am sharing a room with Vanessa, we just ordered hot chocolate and are about to fall asleep but I look forward to getting to know all of you and will be back here really soon to update you with what we are up to.
Polydor Records have posted this video on youtube. Includes some behind-the-scenes stuff with The Saturdays at the opening night of the Girls Aloud tour in Ireland
