Canada!

Posted 29th May 2009

Canada has always been a special place for me as we have friends in the Thousand Islands region about 100km from Canada’s capital, Ottawa.

We started in Montreal, and had the day to explore the city. We strolled for some time in the centre of the city and grabbed some lunch in a cafe.

I had some radio interviews, some of which I performed on and it was fantastic to speak to many of the same presenters I had seen before.

The next day we drove to Ottawa where I would perform in a tv show and also do a live performance in a mall that I often visited on my first visits to Ottawa. when we arrived, it was a beautiful spring day’ and we had dinner in a nice restaurant in the open air.

I enjoyed my performance, and it was great to meet everyone, including some that I had met after my show in Ottawa last year.

After the fine weather of Ottawa, it was time to head to Toronto. Toronto is one of our favourite places, as although it is big, it is very friendly. We stayed in the hotel where the Queen stays in when she is in Toronto, and I did many of my interviews in the Queen’s suite.

We made a point of returning to our favourite steakhouse, Barberien’s where the food and the service was as good as ever. I had an unscheduled trip to Montreal to do an interview on a show called Toute le Monde en Parle (All the world in speech). The show was great fun, and I was particularly impressed with how quick the translator was!

We made our way back that evening to Toronto’ where I would be performing at First Canadian Place. I was amazed by how many people turned up! About 5000 people were there to watch me, which is just incredible! It is always fantastic to meet the people that give me the very special opportunity that I have.

Before we were to return to New York, I did a signing at a large supermarket where apparently they rarely do signings. It was then time to catch our flight to New York, where we arrived in the evening to be greeted by blue skies.

Thankyou again Canada for your support and friendliness. I’m looking forward to returning in June where I start my North America tour in Vancouver.
