Natalie:
I arrived in Saint Petersburg at 07:55am. I was tired and went straight to sleep at the hotel. It was snowing. How cool is that.!!

Sound check was great. Surj (my PA) got me some good Vodka and I stocked up on Caviar!! I bought a Russian Doll for my niece for Christmas and an Amber brooch with a spider in it!

The show was so special. The crowd were being told to sit down by security but once we played 'Torn' there was no stopping them. The energy in the room was so powerful, I had goose bumps!! I received so many bouquets of flowers during the show. This little girl gave me a single pink rose just before 'Come On Home'. It was adorable. My favourite songs tonight were 'Torn' and 'Beauty On The Fire'.

The people here really touched my heart, they really enjoyed themselves and so did we. It was magic. The band played exceptionally well tonight!! I don't want to leave Russia.

The train was a cross between a Carry On film and 'From Russia with Love'. Kept expecting to hear Sid James cackling in the next carriage! Saw St Petersburg from the bus window and its austere beauty left us wanting a few more days off to see the place. As it was, we had to put up with one of the vibes, most emotional experiences I've ever had on stage. By the end of the night it was just pure electricity, a rarefied love bomb none of us will ever forget. Thanks to all in Russia! Can't wait to come back. But I'd like to return to a heatwave like the one in 'Crime and Punishment' rather than the blizzard that delayed our flight from St. Petersburg!
