“The Tempest” at Theatre Royal – 04/01/25
Happy New Year everyone! I know it’s the new year because I looked round and Nathan had stealthily removed the Christmas tree just in time for the twelfth night. And talking of the twelfth night, guess which Shakespeare play we … Continue reading
Christmas at Kew – 13/12/24
Happy belated Christmas dear readers! Apologies for the lateness of this post but there have been some complications this Crimbo time. But we seem to have landed the other side so here’s a much delayed review of when we went … Continue reading

Winter Wanders
Happy December everybody! As is becoming traditional, I took a week off to celebrate my inability to plan my annual leave well and it’s surprising how I can find things to fill a chilly November week every year. I won’t … Continue reading
“Pan” at Chickenshed – 28/11/24
I might have mentioned in a previous post that Chickenshed has turned 50 this year (congratulations again!) and that means that their winter show had to be something pretty special. So they ran a poll to choose which show from … Continue reading
Paradox Museum – 30/10/24

“Dr Strangelove” at Noel Coward Theatre – 22/10/24

“Macbeth” at the Harold Pinter Theatre – 18/10/24
A few minutes ago I wasn’t sure whether I’d ever mentioned my love of David Tennant on this blog but I’ve now done a keyword search and yes, I think I have mentioned it. So I probably don’t need to … Continue reading
City Coffee and Chicken Row
As you may have discerned, I’ve gone through a break up. Breaking up is hard to do, especially when kids are involved, and I know that Eva is missing her regular cheesecake pots already. But let me be clear – … Continue reading
“Festival of the Girl” – 05/10/24
This is our third year at the Festival and Eva’s at the top end of the age range – something I didn’t think about until I realised that one of her classmates from primary school had been promoted to helper … Continue reading
