Dear you

Dear Lucy,
I hope you don't mind me writing, (haha - see what I did there? yup, I'll leave now) I want to thank you. I saw you at the Leadmill. Y'know Ruthie with sparkle-y cast? Yeah anyway, I just want to express my appreciation.

First off, you smashed it last night, granted I couldn't really see ya, you sounded great! The atmosphere was incredible and the mix of songs from all three albums was utterly sensational (as ever, I'll add). I really don't know how you get better every time I come to see you.

I took my mum for the first time. She's also physically disabled and is in a wheelchair. She hasn't been to a gig in ages and to be honest she was pretty nervous of the crowds. I think, along with everyone else there, she had a blast!

Like I said she really doesn't like crowds, incase she gets knocked or something, pretty reasonable but I told her most sprags are really understanding and respectful. What I didn't expect is for one random sprag to shield my mum from the people who were going to the bar. I know for a fact if that was any other fan base it probably wouldn't have happened. That person could have got a great spot but decided to protect my mum. I think that's a credit to not only you but most of the community you've created. 

Also, I know this isn't really related but congratulations on fostering and doing restbite. I'm so jealous of whichever kid gets you and G (+ Steve) as foster parents, you both are so kind to the sprags there's no doubt they are going to adore you. When I was younger I had bits of restbite every now and again and I can tell you are going to be brilliant, granted it's hard but worth it! Like I said last night I'm always available ;) 

Basically that's it, just thank you xxxx
