In the Next Seat

[Belinda]

It was the 3 monthly check by the property manager of the house that i rent and when he walked through the door he said i see you support Hayley Westenra then.
I smiled and said what gave you that idea. the first thing he saw when he walked into the room was this.

and then when he looked to the side he saw these

and this

he then said something that would be the envy of many a Hayley fan.
On his return to NZ from the World Snooker Team Championships in
San Jose ,in late August he had sat beside none other than our Hayley on the plane D
He then said how lovely a person she was etc.for which i totally agreed. And said he had looked at the links i have on my emails to HWI and HWW.and was impressed and of mention he thought your pictures of Hayley at Cadogan Steve were fantastic, One of which is the middle pic on the mantelpiece in the first pic.
It turns out also that Yulia's step father has worked for him and when they had a major auction Yulia would go and sing at it.Tis a small world after all.

Hi Belinda

That's a great story!! and I LOVE your displays

But Belinda, I'm intrigued - What's the DVD on the right in the second picture? Is it available anywhere?

Best wishes

Hello Belinda!

Thanks for sharing the story. I hope he will join the Forum now, because we all want to know more about his encounter with Hayley on the flight! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Grant, I recognise the DVD on the right in the second picture, because I've also got a copy. It is a private DVD of Hayley's appearance in Classicalive at Olympia on 20th March 2005, recorded by Kirsty Heard. Only a very select few have it, but there are some clips HERE.

Best Wishes,

Richard

Hi Belinda,

Its nice to know the pictures are still giving some pleasure worldwide!

Is the Wuthering Heights disk, the CD (Audio) or DVD (Video) ?

Best Wishes

Steve.

What a collection!! Perhaps this could be a new thread - has anyone got a similar (or larger) collection of Hayley products, merchandise and memorabilia?

Martin

Even though it is one step away, that is a superb story that lines up with almost actually being there as a c elebrity meeting!

Hi Belinda,

Are you saving the bottle of bubbley (pictured in the top right of your photograph) for the day when Hayley visits your home to cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony of your exhibition? Make sure you tell all the NZ press photographers to mind the flower beds of Hayley Westenra roses in the garden outside! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Your Hayley collection looks outstanding! All you need now are a few portrait paintings of Hayley, or how about commissioning a sculptor to produce a life size wax model of Hayley and then adorning the model in a replica of one of Hayley's dresses?

Thanks for sharing your pictures with us Belinda- WOW!

Hi Belinda & Grant,

Belinda I hope you don't think I'm being rude responding to Grant here? Please correct me if I stand to be corrected here...

Grant the video of Hayley which you are enquiring about is a video of Hayley's performance at the 'ClassicaLive' event which took place at the London Olympia on Sunday 20th March 2005. As far as I am aware the video wasn't an official release, but there were a few keen Hayley fans present on the day equipped with their video cameras! You can actually see the footage of Hayley at 'ClassicaLive' via the main 'HWI' Website. I'll try to find the link for you. If anyone else finds it before me, please post it up for all to share! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I met Keith Sheel at that event and Hayley received a presentation of a beautiful gold bracelet with 18 diamonds from 'HWI' as a present for her 18th Birthday which was 21 days later! Roger will tell you all about that! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Belinda, please add any information which I have forgotten to mention!

Thanks,

Andrew

Hello Andrew!

I beat you to it. See my reply #2 above! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Hi Belinda!

This is a great collection that you have there. Hard to beat by anyone else! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif
I like the story of the property manager of your house. There are many planes flying to NZ every day and to sit next to Hayley is quite a coincidence. To keep her company for more than 12 hours in a row is very special. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

"What's that DVD?" was also what came first to my mind when I've watched your collection. I guess there is no chance to get a copy if it was never officially released?

Hi Everyone,i'm glad you liked my collection ,there is indeed a thread all ready but it is lost some where, could very well be in this misc section but will be way earlier on. when we could add stuff to it.,one great hayley item that is absent from the photo's is a wonderful gift given to me by andrew,a replica of the Westenra of Christchurch tartan certificate. the collection is a mass of my own collection and gifts sent to me from all over the world.
Andrew no the story of the wine bottle has a Hayley connection that was given to me by the Westenra's be fore Hayley went to Britain to record the first Pure in Ireland.
The chocolates did not survive,The westenra's were returning the videos of Hayley at the Hornby Mall talent quest that they had borrowed to get put on DVD ,as they had not previously seen that video.
Steve the wuthering Heights cd has the video on it ,on the back of the cover there is a sticker that says,
Release date 29th March 2004.It was a gift from Keith
the collection is to be Boosted again Gary S is sending me a DVD of the2004 Interview he made.I sent him one of those Biography books in the picture.
Some of you have heard it all before so i won't go on,

Thanks for the video clips Richard. Don't know whether it's me or what but the sound seems a bit off - can't really here what Hayley is saying.
