Simone Lahbib- News/Updates

[coolbyrne]

Thought we'd extend an olive branch to Simone Lahbib fans by posting news and updates about what she's doing. This thread has been created due to a lack of updates on her official site.

So, to start: Simone set to appear on Downton Abbey. She's set to make her first appearance in the Christmas special. No word on the length of the role.

This is about a month late, but since it's new-ish news, I thought I'd post it:

Art for Eilidh took place last month in the stunning surroundings of Strathallan Castle near Auchterarder.

The artwork was much admired by those attending what proved to be an enjoyable and memorable night.

After the guests were welcomed to the castle by a pipe band, Gordon Brown, Eilidh’s father and Simone Lahbib, her aunt, gave everyone an update on the project to build a respite home in the Stirling area for families of cancer sufferers. More in the link.

I posted this in the Mandana news/info thread, but thought I'd put it here, too.
