Sydney... The end.

So as I write a blog about my final days of this mighty adventure, I'm sitting near Mrs Macquarie's Seat in Sydney's Botanical Gardens, overlooking the harbour, bridge and opera house. Poignant because this is pretty much where my Australian journey began 363 days ago, oblivious to everything that lay before me.  I don't have a huge amount to say about the past few days at the moment, I'm still trying to digest the events that have occurred but it's safe to say I can't think of a way that I would rather have spent my last weekend in Australia. On Thursday 18th June 2015 i geocached in the morning, dropping Kenny Koala in a cache (after a bit of sightseeing!) to begin his journey to the UK. 

In the evening I was reunited with my SGLC family and thus began an indescribable weekend as we staged the world premiere of Cheek to Cheek. My duties over the weekend included preparation, dressing and Front of House. The weekend  of final rehearsals, including tech and dress rehearsals on Friday, along with 3 performances and an after party over Saturday and Sunday brought lots of laughs and several tears and I reflected on what had been an sensational weekend with awesome friends to top off an amazing year.

Sunday 21st June 2015

Monday 22nd June 2015 brought a well needed lie in, followed by a day catching up with friends and today, Tuesday 23rd June 2015 is panning out in much the same way. Reminiscing with the view over the harbour and this evening, dinner and drinks with dear friends. 

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets

In midnights, in cups of coffee

In inches, in miles

In laughter, in strife

In five hundred twenty-five thousand

Six hundred minutes

How do you measure

A year in the life?
