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…

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.

Saturday, 18th April 2009 – Locanda Locatelli, London We’re not eating out much this year but yesterday was a special event (A’s Birthday celebrations) and she’s been hankering after eating at Locanda Locatelli almost as long as it’s been in existence.

Friday, 4th July 2008 – Men’s Quarter Finals I had a great day at the tennis yesterday (though I should state upfront that I’ve never tried taking tennis photos properly before – apart from about two 24-exposure rolls back in the late 1980s when I was lucky enough to see Boris Becker play – and…

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…
