Our love and support for local amateur dramatics continued throughout 2025, with several visits to local BLODS hall. Our latest visit in October was to watch their final production of the year. A Bunch of Amateurs, written by Ian Hislop, promised to be a fun packed evening. The tale of a struggling Hollywood…
On some of our trips to London, I have seen concerts by candlelight, advertised at many of the Cathedrals around the City. I have often thought it would be magical to attend one. I imagine the music, filling the vast buildings, being entrancing and the flickering candlelight embracing you in a warm hug. As yet…
You cant beat a good afternoon or cream tea. They are always a treat and believe me I have had a few. 🧁🫖 It’s a lovely way to spend an afternoon, catching up with family and friends, enjoying the quaint British tradition. But one thing around this seemingly inoffensive tiered platter of food, almost always…
And before we knew it October was once again upon us. We thought that with the twins having started secondary school last year, they wouldn’t be that interested in Hallowe’en.

Life is a remarkably short journey, but it can be a wonderful one, especially when you meet lovely people along the way. As one of those lovely people, departed this week on his final journey, our love, thoughts and prayers, are with him and his beautiful family Sleep peacefully kind sir. 💙
The Bank Holiday continued and the sun came out to play, which was fabulous as our local pub, the Harrow Inn, was holding their annual music festival in the car park. With the stage in situ, tables and chairs filling the space, usually reserved for patrons cars, a bottle bar in one corner and…
The August Bank Holiday weekend arrived and with it, as usual the cloud 🙄 Although it’s our favourite topic of conversation, us Brits don’t let the weather get us down and we were kicking the weekend off with a party 🎉 🥳🍾. Some of our gang gathered together for pre party dinner, catching up…
