When Ciara spent 2007 in hospital, she discovered ITV’s ‘Primeval’. Being big into dinosaurs it proved a great hit. Today Ciara was up a Crumlin for a dermatology appointment and Finn and I took a trip up to Phoenix Park to stretch our legs. There was a film shoot going on and being ever nosey and on the hunt for a Project 365 photo, I went to investigate. I asked someone from Wardrobe - who was at the time grating an army jacket with a cheese grater – what the shoot was for, and sure enough, it turned out to be Primeval.
I tracked down someone who looked like some form of decision maker, i.e, had a walkie-talkie and a clipboard, and asked if it was OK for my daughter to meet any of the cast. Apparently Hannah Spearritt, who plays Abby in the show was driving around in a motor home being attacked by a monster and if we came back at lunch we’d be able to say Hi. So after a trip to the Zoo, Ciara met her hero, and lovely she was too.
