Hi everyone,

I am writing my recent blog from the City of Liverpool! I have been here a few times in the past, and have always really enjoyed it so looking forward to the week ahead. Earlier in the year, I was here for the Strictly Come Dancing Tour and I did some Beatles touring as I am a big fan and have been since I was alot younger as my dad used to love their music. I have a few friends up here, so am planning on doing some more touring, and seeing lots of local sights.

We had a good week in Edinburgh last week, it really is a beautiful City, and one of the most picturesque I have been to. Joe spent some time with me, and we went to Edinburgh Castle, and had a fun time wondering around the City which is so historic and so beautiful. One night after the show, we all went on the ' City of the Dead' ghost tour, which was amazing! I have to say that it was scary, and we all kept sending Joe out in front, as he is the tough one. A really memorable week!

On Friday I had a good afternoon supporting 'Active Nation' which is a campaign to encourage people in Scotland to get active in the run up to the 2014 commonwealth games. Dance is such a great form of fitness, and it is alot of fun as well which is a double bonus. We all know that working out is not always something to look forward to, so dancing is a way to solve that problem! I was encouraging people to dance, and met a group of really lovely people to try out some dance moves with. I hope they enjoyed the day as much as I did. ( Picture above)

I am also pleased to say that I am now working with a new PR team called Stuart Higgins communications. I have been with them for a few weeks now, and enjoying working with them. All their details are now on my updated web.

Once again I really want to thank you for some of the gifts I have received from you during the Pro Tour. I have also had the opportunity to meet alot of you at the Stage doors, which has been really enjoyable, and also hearing your thoughts and feedback on the Tour! You are all so kind, and I am grateful for your continued support. I cannot believe there are only 4 venues left after Liverpool.

I have nearly finished my blog without even mentioning the new SCD series ! I was so happy to find out that I am going to be part of Strictly 2010. I am really looking forward to finding out who my new celeb is going to be, which hopefully will not be too much longer. Watch this space for news and info.

Have to sign off now, but thank you all!

All my love,

Kristina x
