Our beautiful coastal town, is an incredibly diverse place to live, embracing people from all walks of life together with different cultures and religions. It also hosts a wide range of music, theatre and festivals, from Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday to Jack in the Green and May Day and the Bonfire parade, celebrating Hastings…
In my humble opinion, the meaning of life is a loving family, good friends and new adventures and sometimes there’s nothing quite like sharing a day out with some of your girlfriends, especially in one of the best cities in the World. With this in mind, six lovely ladies (and I include myself in…
A birthday gift, from the Besties, found us in the ornate Devonshire Theatre, in Eastbourne. Our adventure this evening, would take us back to a time, shortly before we were born. New Year’s Eve 1959, to be precise and we find the landlady of The Spitfire pub, getting ready for patrons to celebrate the…
We were recently back at our favourite little Am Dram theatre, BLODs Little Theatre. Having gradually expanded our numbers, our group of 10 took over 1/3 of the seats in the auditorium, and were looking forward to the latest performance, The Ghost Train. 👻🚂 The comedy, was written in the early 20’s by playwright,…

The big kid in me has wanted to see Matilda the Musical, for a few years, but we had never got round to it. I was very happy when the hubby gifted me tickets for my birthday back in February 🎁 and one of our Granddaughters had also bought a ticket to join us. …
