Seussical the Musical

Posted on January 4, 2013 by katese11

This was always going to be a risky one. Back in November-time, I got a Groupon offer for “Seussical – the Musical”. I’ve never actually bought a Groupon offer before, so had no idea how quickly they sold out. It … Continue reading →

Southbank Christmas Market – 16/12/12

Posted on December 16, 2012 by katese11

Regular readers of mine will know that my watchwords for this blog are “accuracy”, “clarity” and “focus”. I would never offer anything up to you that was “half-arsed”, “rambling” or “irrelevant”. And I’d like to think that these words reflect … Continue reading →

The Christmas Pudding Race and the “Rise of the Guardians” Funland – 01/12/12

The Stow Festival and Lloyd Park Playground – 22/09/12

Posted on September 23, 2012 by katese11

I know I’ve  covered Walthamstow once or twice already, but here we go, back up the Victoria Line.  It was a glorious sunny day, so perfect for an open-air ukulele/banjo/violin/vocal gig. Particularly when the lovely Miss T is playing her … Continue reading →

Techniquest, Cardiff – yup, it’s another field trip!

Posted on September 18, 2012 by katese11

It’s quite likely you’ll recognise Cardiff Bay from somewhere. If you’re a saddo like me, it’ll be from camp-but-educational Beebies show “Rhyme Rocket”. If you’re a different kind of saddo, like Nathan, it’ll be from Doctor Who.  And the boy … Continue reading →

LolliBop – 18/08/12

Posted on August 20, 2012 by katese11

LolliBop may be your idea of heaven or hell. Or somewhere in between. Or both at once. For Roo, it was heaven. So much to see, so much to do, so much stimulation. Think he’s hyper normally? Let him loose … Continue reading →

The Discover Centre – 13/07/12

Posted on July 13, 2012 by katese11

Right, let’s get this straight before we get carried away – do not go to Stratford over the next month or so. It will be hell. The station was busy enough today and will be worse over The Olympics. You will … Continue reading →

Posted on June 23, 2012 by katese11

Norfolk. Very flat. But there are dinosaurs there. We went on holiday! To Norfolk! It wasn’t actually flat at all, especially not the Neanderthal walk at Dinosaur Adventure. But we’ll get there later. Let’s begin at the beginning. Dinosaur Adventure … Continue reading →

Festival of the World (Southbank Centre) – 22/06/12

Posted on June 22, 2012 by katese11

It’s been a rather blustery day. Walking along the river, I thought Roo’s buggy might just be whipped away over the edge. Luckily, I had Roo to use as a counterweight, so once I put him in it the problem … Continue reading →
