“Pig Heart Boy” at Unicorn Theatre – 08/02/25
It’s been a while since our last visit to Unicorn Theatre, so when I heard about this production of the 1997 Malorie Blackman novel, I jumped at the chance. Of course, the last time we went it was from church … Continue reading
“Ballet Shoes” at the National Theatre – 31/01/25
Now, I need to say that I am very precious when it comes to “Ballet Shoes” and early trailers and posters for this show made me reluctant to see it. Any kind of re-imagining, any kind of modernising…..these things were … 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
Fox in a Box Escape Rooms – 16/06/24
It’s taken me a little while to write this one up because, really, what can you say about escape rooms? You can’t give away too much otherwise they’ll find you and lock you up for real. But I’ll try to … Continue reading
Legoland – 04/05/24
It’s been a couple of years since our last trip to Legoland but as soon as I started planning, I remembered the drill. Harvester breakfast, check: We still miss the pre-Covid buffet but you can’t dwell on the past indefinitely. … Continue reading
A Shakespearean Jaunt Part 2 – 16/07/23
My powers of self-control are as good as ever and I managed to ramble on for a thousand words about just one day in Stratford-Upon-Avon. So I cut it off and here’s your Part 2. I know…you’ve been on tenterhooks. … Continue reading
A Shakespearean Jaunt Part 1 – 15/07/23
A few years ago I was reading “The Swish of the Curtain” to Eva and we both enjoyed the chapter where the Bishop takes the Blue Doors to Stratford Upon Avon and Maddie scandalises the dining room by telling everyone … Continue reading
A Week Off
We’ve just had a week off….unusual, I know but these things happen when you fail to use up your annual leave in a timely manner. So a rainy week in November it is. What to do? Well, I started the … Continue reading
Escape Rooms, Art Shops and the Elizabeth Line – 10/09/22
Yesterday was Nathan’s birthday so we decided to go for one of those Nice Family Days Out you hear so much about. Nathan was clearly in a celebratory mood, as his neck-to-ankle black suggests. It might be that he was … Continue reading
A Waterside Wander – 25/06/22
I seem to remember writing about hanging out in Kings Cross in the early days of the blog. Back then, Kings Cross was no place to linger. It was basically just a seedy main road and a very cramped … Continue reading
