Thursday, August 25th 2016 – King Lear, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon This has very much been the year of Lear for us, with one already under our belts (Michael Pennington at the Royal & Derngate in Northampton) but now we were heading into the one we’ve very much been looking forward to. The Royal Shakespeare…

Theatre 2016 – Richard III, the Almeida, London
Saturday, August 6th 2016 – Richard III, Almeida Theatre, London One of the things we promised ourselves now we’re not spending every spare moment on motor racing was that we would do more in the way of music and theatre with the time we gained back. And so, early this year, we started looking to…
Travel 2016 – Savonlinna, Day 12
Day 12, Saturday 16th July (Savonlinna) Moose count = does a photo of a moose count? The day started with a quick trip to the market to get supplies to have with the lörtsy for dinner, and to extact some items from the car like maps and guidebooks. The kauppatori at Savonlinna is smaller than…
Travel 2016 – Tampere, Jyvaskyla, Juva, Savonlinna, Day 11
Day 11, Friday 15th July (Tampere, Jyvaskyla, Juva, Savonlinna) Moose count = not a damn one, no moose here, why do you ask? This was another travelling day. We needed to be in Savonlinna by 16:00 at the latest so we made a reasonably early start and dragged all of our luggage back downstairs from the…
Theatre 2014 – The Crucible, The Old Vic, London
We were lucky enough to get hold of tickets for what has been a pretty much sold out production of “The Crucible” at The Old Vic, opting for a Saturday afternoon matinee (made necessary by the fact that at almost 4 hours, if we’d gone for an evening performance we’d have spent the last half…
Theatre/Food 2011 – Playboy of the Western World, Baltic, London…
Saturday, 21st August 2011 -Old Vic Theatre, Baltic, London I NEVER win anything. Never. That said, after 51 years where the only thing I ever won was a set of spoons (don’t ask) this last 12 months I’ve been having far more success. £100 there, a Waitrose Christmas cake here, tickets for the Ideal Home…
Theatre/Food 2011 – The Childrens Hour, Val Taro, Eat at 23, London, Brackley
Saturday, 12th/Sunday, 13th February 2011 – The Childrens Hour, Val Taro, Eat at 23, London, Brackley On Saturday we made what was a rare trip to the theatre. Given the costs of train travel to London for two people, along with the cost of tickets, it’s not something we’ve been able to do that often…
Travel 2006 – Vienna, Day 3
Sunday, 3rd December 2006 – Vienna, Day 3 Sunday was slightly less frenetic than Saturday had been. Again we started with a superb breakfast in the hotel, then took a slow wander along to the Hofburg. It was a chilly day, but we wandered round the outside for a while, and along the Ringstrasse before…
Theatre 2005 – Swan Lake, Milton Keynes Theatre
Friday, 28th October 2005 – Swan Lake, Milton Keynes Theatre Last night we went to Milton Keynes Theatre for the first time. The reason was Matthew Bourne‘s Swan Lake (yes, the one with the male swans). There was a massively full house, probably partly because Northampton’s two theatres are both closed for the foreseeable future…
