Hi Guys

What a day!

It was soooo hard to keep a secret from Zoë for 1 whole week and arrange everything without Zoë knowing. Especially trying to phone Sally from ITV Central News to tell her we had arrived at the surprise destination!...

Thanks for telling us all about it Linda, it must have been fantastic and so rewarding for the effort you obviously put into arranging it... and keeping the secret! May there be many more days like it for you both! Those are great photos I've just seen, that Gerrit posted for you!!!

Now, the mention of Central News is very interesting! Will they broadcast a report of Zoë's meeting with Lesley? I hope so and if so I can't wait to see it! Gosh, I hope it hasn't *already* been broadcast

Anyway, if there will be a report on Central, I can receive that channel even down here in Hampshire, so please let us know if/when it will be broadcast - I'd be upset if I missed it (and I want to record it )

Well done, again!

Cheers, Dave

Hello Linda,

What an incredible day for Zoë. She must have been gobsmacked when she spotted Lesley. Brilliant pictures (thanks Gerrit); thanks Linda for sharing your news with us. Best of luck to Zoë on Monday when she sits her exams.

Regards,
Joe

Hi Everyone

I have just heard that Lesley is going to get the photos of Zoe posted on her website! She also wants me to keep her touch with regards to Zoe's new CD and all her future performances.!!!

She gave Zoe some very useful tips with regards to sing o mio babbino caro and Zoe really took it all in and last night shouted "I get it now, listen!"

Yes Zoe certainley does get it now!! My word how just a few tips have improved her performance!

Well Zoe is just off to Stagecoach to practice for her show, they are doing a scence from West side Story today.

Love to all, you are like my extented family!

Hello Linda and Zoë!

I can see you both had a fantastic day yesterday, and the photographs are awesome, so thanks for posting them Gerrit!

Zoë, I'm sure you will do well in your exam on Monday, and I bet you can't wait to tell all your friends about yesterday! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Hi Guys

Just had to tell you the wonderful news we have been given today.

Peter and I have just come back from a meeting with the Headmaster at Cokethorpe School and he has awarded Zoë an academic scholarship for the senior school. Apparently she was one of the top scholars in her year and out of 150 pupils who applied for a place at the senior school had one of the highest scores in her exams.

He was so impressed with not only her outstanding exam results but also with her very mature and positive attitude during her interview, especially when she had the courage to give her opinion on a subject they were debating. (Just like her Mother )

Zoë is really pleased and Peter and I are just so proud of her!

Now she can take it easy and relax for a while, can it get any better? Talent, beauty and brains!!

Love Linda x

Thank you for telling is that Linda, it's great news. With school and career prospects like that, Zoë's wonderful singing could remain as a nice little hobby, her weekend job - if she wanted it to!

It's Beautiful photo of Zoë with the Countess of Wessex too (thanks to Gerrit for posting it).

Cheers, Dave

That is fantastic news,
[size=3Congratulations Zoe[/size]
no one can say Zoe's performing etc is interfering with her school work,
I found with my Daughter being in lots of shows etc it helped in her schooling,She had no problem doing speeches ,and learning things as she had a great memory from learning lots of lines and songs.and Was comfortable comunicating with adults and was well behaved.

Hi all,

Thanks Gerrit for that pic of Zoë and The Countess of Wessex. Like Her Royal Highness, Zoe is a keen supporter of many charitable causes!

Glad that Zoë earned a place at the senior school !

Best wishes,
Joe

You deserve all your success, and I'm sure you will do very well with your scholarship and your wonderful singing.

Thanks to Gerrit for posting the lovely photograph of you with the Countess of Wessex!

Best Wishes from London,

Hi Everyone

Well we started planning the show today, get ready to be entertained, it's going to be FANTASTIC!!

There is so much involved into making sure the show flows, I have been fascinated listening to the experts plan the acts to roll into each other.... Amazing!

I am very lucky as I have a very good friend who is a professional show director (who owns his own theatre company) and he is working for free, together with his friend who is a professional stage manager!! The sponsorship money is rolling in and tickets are selling quite nicely and we haven't even started the advertising yet!

Zoë is going to be dancing and singing with the Stagecoach kids as well as singing solo and doing a couple of duets.

The show is going to be hosted by the children themselves as we have identified some budding presenters who are extremely keen to test out their skills!

The children are sooo excited, but also totally dedicated, it gives me a wonderful warm feeling when I see the enjoyment on their faces when practicing.

Will have more news on the album front late next week, but everything is looking good!

Well must go now have much to do, but will keep you in touch with all the news

Love to all Linda x .

Dear All

Zoe had the most fantastic birthday.

She received cards from friends, family and Fans!

Best wishes and presents from so many people, it proved to me that people really appreciate what Zoe is trying to do!!

But I must share this with you all - 20 minutes ago Lesley Garrett phoned Zoe and sang Happy Birthday to her down the phone!!! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

She continued to ask her how her day went and said she would keep in touch!

Zoe was so shocked, she couldn't speak

So we are all agreed that only Jodie could have organised that and was obviously determined to send her sister a birthday present she knew no one else could

I am now ready for my bed after all of the excitement!!

Love to all Linda x
