I went and saw Neil Gaiman at Harrods this morning. He had put a note on his blog saying he was going to be there at 11am today, so I dutifully packed a bag full of books before I left for work and … left it at home. So, oh well, I wasn’t going to […]
Have you seen Lord of the Rings?
Just walking into a movie theatre in Milton Keynes we came across these fine people, there’s me, Andy Serkis (Gollum), Billy Boyd (Pippin), Keryn, Bruce Hopkins (Gamling) and Sala Baker (Sauron)
What The Night Is For
We went to a play in the west end last night, ‘What the night is for’ starring Gillian Anderson and Roger Allam. I really enjoyed it. We got top price tickets for £15 each, which is less than half the normal price. The tickets were going cheap because the play is ending this coming weekend […]

Summer Solstice Fireworks
In our previous post we forgot to mention that we got to see a really cool fireworks display at Victoria Park celebrating the summer solstice. The fireworks were amazing and were set to music. First theme was the drums, which had fire spurts in time to the beat, second theme was the saxophone where there […]
