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
Welcome to Day #10 of the ever-lasting half term. Eva’s out there in the dark streets, covered in watermelon juice and begging for sweets from strangers. Standard stuff. But while it seems that we’ve given up on parenting today, I … Continue reading
“Dr Strangelove” at Noel Coward Theatre – 22/10/24
Wow, we have been ever so stage-y this half term. Macbeth last Friday evening, Musical Con on Saturday and yesterday Eva and her BFF went to see “Heathers” in Oxford. I’m not reviewing that one because I was in the … Continue reading
Musical Con – 19/10/24

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
“Holst – The Planets” at the Royal Albert Hall – 21/09/24
It was Nathan’s birthday recently. I won’t say which number it was but it wasn’t a very major one…..more like a stopping point between major ones. Nevertheless, we’ve made the most of the celebrations, starting with an outdoor cinema trip … Continue reading
“An Inspector Calls” at Alexandra Palace – 04/09/24
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s back to school time. The former toddler is heading into his GCSE year so what better way to mark the occasion than to go and see a GCSE text live on stage? He obviously … Continue reading
