Mary Poppins Tribute UK explains her reasoning behind creating Practically Perfect Parties Online, a party service for people who are unable to celebrate in person. Discussing the joy in party preparation and the sadness that goes with not being able to do that in the same way. Should you feel guilty that that is how you feel? It's not unusual to have these feelings...
Dear Parents, Carers & Party Hosts, Mary here, creating my practically perfect party pack was great fun! I wanted to create something that you can prepare in your own home, to so that you and your children feel more connected. Using my party pack ideas means you can create something that doesn't require a special shopping trip...instead you can focus on recycling something you already have. Finally, I hope that the activities provide your child/children with an opportunity to enjoy being guided by Mary Poppins and take some kind of control of their own thing. However, if that feels like too much for them to deal with, they can help you (parents, carers, party hosts) by being your ‘little assistant’ instead! Either way a joyful activity and totally stress free. Spit Spot!

I’ve been a professional actress for 32 years, but my parents will tell you
that I was a little Sarah Bernhardt from a very early age.
Since training at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, I’ve had some wonderful experiences. My early career was full of Shakespeare…. in schools, castles, on radio 4, the Bristol Old Vic and in a pub theatre with director Andrew Hilton
(of Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory) . All that was a three year training in itself.
Other highlights include working at the National Theatre on two of Tennessee Williams unperformed plays…a real thrill to see his handwriting on the copies of his original manuscripts. I loved doing Sonnet Walks for Shakespeare’s Globe, using my voice for Manga cartoons and talking book versions of some Horrible Histories, having a one woman show written for me, working at Britain’s longest running weekly Rep and making my feature film debut alongside my 5 year old son.
