Hi All ~

Here is part of a review I wrote, and this will tell you the story behind the pics!!!  By the way, the girl who fell was Merel.

 
Bye for now ~ Love Sheila

Hi again, 

This was when we were at the studio at Paul de Leeuw.

When Mark Kempernaar came he wanted to ask Michael's Manager something about the magazine he was writing for.

At that time Michael and Phil were sitting outside on the terrace drinking coffee.  We went up to them, and Michael stood up and shook all our hands.  Mark asked Phil about what he wanted to know and then we talked to Michael!!!

I asked him if he would sign a photo I had with me of him and my daughter together.  I told him she wanted to go to see him at Hampton Court but as she is expecting she couldn't go, but she had seen him at Bristol, and that the next day she was in hospital as she thought she was going into labor.  He said "Ooh Bless her!!!"

He signed it for me and also one of me and him and Tish in the photo.  I told him it was taken when I went to see "Passion" and he said "Yes I can see that by the stage door in the background."

He then asked if we were all going on Friday and I said "Yes I'm in the 6th row - you can wave to me." He laughed.  

He then posed for me while I took a photo of him with his cup in his hand, and as I was taking it one of our friends, who was standing behind me, stepped back and fell down a big step - I thought she was falling in the canal behind us!  I moved the camera as I clicked so I will have a crooked picture, but Michael was still posing for me and as I took another photo he said under his breath "I think she fell over". 

The girl was OK no bruises, but she said "How can I live it down?" - falling down in front of her idol!!!

We then said goodbyes.  This was on the 4th of May.  I'm still excited when I think of all this!!!

Bye for now, Love, Sheila
