Birmingham fan-meet at a well known hotel, somewhere off the M42, in the middle of nowhere....
DONNA
Tuesday May 25th
After the disappointment of the previous day, I set out with one thing in mind, and that was to fight for my right to...er...get some photo's! We arrived at the hotel at about 1pm, we had inside information from Trevor the coach driver, that Westlife would be leaving the hotel at 2.30pm. Trevor also added that they were never on time, so i wasn't going to hold my breath....
Low and behold, they finally appeared at 4.45, by this time there was quite a large crowd gathering outside the hotel, so the barriers went up. Now i don't normally like barriers, but in this instance it was more organised than the previous day, because the lads stopped and signed stuff for everybody one by one. We were told under no circumstances were we allowed to have photo's with the boys by the security, but rules were there to be broken, and as i was with my trusty photographer/boyfriend, the opportunity was just too good to miss. So i asked Mr Byrne if he'd mind having his picture taken with me. He politely obliged (the gentleman that he is).
I then asked Mr Filan the same. He obliged too (lets just say I'm now a converted Nicky fan!) I didn't get chance to speak to, or get any photo's of Mark as security were rushing them onto the bus, and Kian passed by me as I was changing the film in my camera....Grrrr..
Thanks to my darling boyfriend that suffered 2 whole days outside the hotel without food or beverages (hey I'm not paying hotel prices, I'm only a receptionist for god's sake!), and for driving me up and down the M42 daily. Attached are 2 photo's of myself with Shane and Nicky. Enjoy! Much love, Donna. xxx
