Lapland, gigs, Santa and more!
Hey all!
Hope that you are all enjoying the website!
Thought we would check in to let you know what we have been up to this week!
It has been a really manic one and we have been here, there and everywhere.
On Monday we had a gig in london for Orange (the mobile phone company..not the fruit!). We performed a gig set and then stayed after to mingle and play some sing star! I (Sarah) would like to add that on the final song (a good ole bit of kylie and Jason) we split off into 2 teams (team Sarah and team Sean) and I won! I know what I will be asking Santa for this year! Lol!
On Wednesday we travelled to stansted airport ready to be up at 4am the next day to catch a flight to Lapland! We were so lucky to be invited by the 'Family Holiday Association' charity to accompany 100 familys to Santa's hometown. We performed for the families at the hotel and made sure that everyone was excited the night before and the next day headed to Finland! The children were buzzing and couldn't wait to get on the plane as for some of them it was their first time!
Lapland was so awesome! We had a huge snowball fight, went on toboggans, built snowmen, had reindeer rides and went on snowmobiles. I (sean) was so annoyed to be stuck behind Sarah on the snowmobile going about 2mph whilst everyone else sped off! Grr! Next time I will take the lead! Ha! Also I managed to get my tongue stuck on some ice in true dumb and dumber style (picture to follow!). How embarissing!
It was such a fun day and we met some really incredible people so we want to say a massive thank you to Thomson Airways and First Choice for giving us and the children such a magical experience.
On friday we went to the sky studios to film 'live from studio 5'. This has to be one of our favourite interveiws to do as it is so relaxed and Ian, Melinda and Kate are all so lovely! We were there to talk about the Xfactor finals and we went out to the streets to find out who the general public want to win! It was hilarious chasing people down the road with our camera and we met some real characters on our way! Pure comedy value!
Phew... That was our manic week in a nutshell! Next week is going to be just as busy but we have to fit all of our xmas shopping in at some point!
All that's left to say is enjoy your last week at work/school before xmas and we shall blog again soon!
Love love love
Sarah and Sean
