Am Dram

We like to support, amateur dramatics within our community. Many of the productions are incredibly professional and ticket prices are kinder on the pocket.

Uptown Girls

Sometimes, no matter how hectic or stressful life is, a day out with girlfriends is all you need to put the World back into perspective. Even though it had been arranged months previously, a trip to the City with my Uptown Girls, arrived at the perfect time.   We took the train along the coastal…
