Saturday 24th June, 2017 – Macbeth, Iris Theatre Company, St. Paul’s Church, Covent Garden On Saturday afternoon we attended a performance by the Iris Theatre Company of Macbeth at St. Paul’s Church, Covent Garden, also known as The Actors’ Church.

Travel/Food 2017 – Copenhagen
Monday 20th March – Friday 24th March, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark After a week in January and three in February it was a pleasure to be back in Copenhagen in what theoretically should have been better weather and more daylight. You would not have thought it on my arrival. It was absolutely throwing it down…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Weekend 2, Day 2
Sunday 19th February, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark A and I started our second day of sightseeing by making an early start to get across to the Round Tower for its 10am opening so we could get up to the top ahead of the crowds. A short metro ride (having finally learned to spot the metro…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Weekend 2, Day 1
Saturday 18th February, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark And so after another week at the training coalface, A. arrived in good time on the Friday evening for us to indulge in a quick drink in the hotel bar before we trekked over to O Tempo (using slightly more buses than might have been necessary if we’d…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Weekend 1, Day 2
Sunday 12th February, 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 2 Again it was a bitterly cold day with a fierce wind blowing from somewhere out over the Siberian Steppes, the temperature hovering around -5ºC but with clear blue skies all round. Even so it was not a day to be outdoors. We’d got a couple of items…

Friday, 1st December 2006 – Vienna, Day 1 Friday we were up at some absurd time to haul ourselves to the airport. We picked Steffie up at 6 am and had an easy drive to Heathrow, parking in the Short Stay Car Park which is right next to Terminal 4 (this was a damn good…
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…
Travel 2005 – Valencia, Spain
Friday, 21st October/Saturday, 22nd October 2005 – Valencia Friday got off to a bad start with torrential rain all over Southern England, and us needing to get to Gatwick Airport to fly out to Spain. The 2005 Girls’ Weekend Away was scheduled to start as soon as we got to the airport. Lynne, Steffy and…
Travel 2004 – Macau, Day 2
Monday, 15th November 2004 – Macau, Day 2 Last night’s dinner was very good, but the restaurant staff delivered the disturbing news that they wouldn’t be doing lunch during the Grand Prix because the local government had booked the entire place from 6am to 6pm… So where were the teams, drivers, officials and press supposed…
