Hi All
I have a ticket for the Barbican that I can't use. If anyone wants it PM me and I'll call them as the ticket is to be picked up at the box office. Seat is B 37.

I must admit usually I look forward to Hayley concerts immensely but this one I am facing with some trepidation, not least because of the weather forecast which is looking truly horrendous for the weekend. I'm not sure I'll even make it to London ! Richard, perhaps you'd be kind enough to keep us updated on the snow situation for the benefit of those of us out in the shires ?!
Another thing to worry about is Hayley's state of health. I've just checked her twitter page and hopefully no news is good news. Part of me wishes she'd call it off now rather than perform when not 100% but she probably feels under pressure to carry on since this very gig was cancelled last year when she was ill. Please God history doesn't repeat itself.

Hi Jeff and everyone, I may be able to put your mind at rest to some degree. I heard from Gerald this morning who told me that Hayley's health "seems to be improving". He quoted her as saying she "wants to finish the year on a high/positive note". Indications at the moment are that the concert will go ahead (also the one in Bristol). Can't do much about the snow though!  Roger |

Hi Roger Thanks for the update on events. It is important that we all stay postive regarding not only Hayley's health but also the concert on Monday. As I understand it the weather is meant to improve on Monday. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifMartin |

Hi Roger and everyone Good to hear that you are still in touch with Gerald and good to hear that Hayley is on the mend. She must have been feeling worse than she let on at Bath. I'm sure we will have a tweet from Hayley very soon.  Best wishes Grant |

Hello folks!  I'm sure Hayley wants to end the year on a high note, so I'm pleased to hear that she's feeling better already.  I'll try to keep you all updated about the snow situation during the weekend. If I don't, it means I'm snowed in at home and can't get to the Internet Café. Fingers crossed. Richard  |

If you can make it there, make sure that you get a byte to eat! Good to hear that Hayley is recovering..... |

Hello again everybody! There was only a light dusting of snow in London overnight, but I'll be monitoring the situation closely for the next three days. Richard |

One forecast I saw for Monday showed the wind going round to the south, a milder direction, so hopefully a thaw will set in !

Hi Jeff, I agree with you that it *should be* OK on Monday although it will still be cold with rain or sleet and still a possibility of snow, especially when driving in hilly areas as I will have to do. There may still be snow on the ground from today, in those places who had a lot last night (6 inches in some places, only 1 cm where I live). I am impressed by the accuracy with which this snowy spell was forecast by the computer models, and discussed by those who partake in weather discussions... over 9 days ago. If I could go back in time to write the following again, I wouldn't change a word! I should mention that there's currently a fair chance of a severe cold spell affecting London and other places next week, cold enough for significant snow in some places and if it happens, there's a 50/50 chance of it lasting in some places until the 21st. Travelling could be more "interesting" than usual for some of us. We are lucky there isn't a concert in Southend-on-Sea (East of London) this weekend, a regular Hayley venue. Here's a photo from a fellow weather 'nut' Keith in Southend, he has a great website www.southendweather.net and took it this morning: Cheers, Dave |

Hi Dave,
we have 5-6" of lying snow in Suffolk, it took me nearly two hours last night to do 4 miles! mainly due to other road users who have no idea how to drive in these conditions.
I will review the situation again on Monday Morning as there is more snow forecast here on Sunday evening.
Hope we do all get to meet up on Monday if we can though.
Steve.

Hello Barbicanarians i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifI should get to the Barbican by about 2pm, that's assuming I don't get lost like I did last time! Are we meeting in the area close to the cafe/restaurant? See you there (somewhere) Best wishes Grant |

Hello folks! It was a bit icy in the suburbs this morning, but I had no problems getting into London. Yes, let's meet in the area by the café from 2pm onwards. See you tomorrow, Richard |
