I was supposed to see Angaleena Presley back in July 2015, twice in fact, on my birthday and then the day after too. But due to family sickness that didn’t happen, and in the meantime, and with a second album under her belt, my admiration for Angaleena’s music and desire to see her live have […]
Live Music, Music, Reviews Angaleena Presley, Danni NichollsRewind roughly 13 years to when my wife and I walked into Exeter town centre, where we lived at the time, and we visited a continental market one sunny summer Saturday (10 house points for the alliteration). Amid a cornucopia of smells one stood out, that being garlic, to which I am drawn to like […]
Food, Life in Hitchin French Market, PrawniesAs a family we have become veterans of the Haven holiday scene, having been countless times over the last decade and twice a year for the past 4 years. Saying that, we have only ever stayed at one resort, Combe Haven in Hastings. We are creatures of habit, and liking both the resort and the […]
Reviews, Travel Haven, Haven SeashorePirates of the Caribbean or Star Tours t-shirt? Star Wars Rebel pilot backpack or classic Star Wars courier bag? Slip on Star Wars scene Vans or lace up Stormtrooper Vans? That last dilemma was easily solved as I couldn’t and still can’t locate that particular pair of Vans – just why do things go missing […]
Comics, Films, Star Wars MCM Comic Con LondonI’ve wanted to eat in Yo! Sushi for years, but my 8 year old son never seems keen and childless days are few and far between. Well today that changed, as I had a day off of work and my wife Denise doesn’t work Mondays, so off we went to The Centre:MK in Milton Keynes. […]
Food, Reviews Yo! SushiI’m a bad West Ham fan, in that after decades of supporting them, until this month I’d never seen them live, let alone at their home ground, which is now the London Stadium, home of the Olympic Games in 2012. Without going into detail, I’ll just say that thanks to some great friends, I got […]
Sport, West HamFor a few reasons, which don’t need to be detailed here, for the first year since it started in 2017, I didn’t attended one single second of C2C: Country to Country (C2C) down at The O2 in London. On paper it wasn’t the greatest line up for my tastes, though seeing Brad Paisley on the […]
Live Music, Music C2C, Country to CountryAlmost verbatim, my words yesterday to my wife were I’m going to take my camera into town and take some photos, because I haven’t taken any for ages. I should have known at that point not to expect anything good to come out if it, as photography is about passion, not necessity. Well, photography as […]
Life in Hitchin, PhotographySo why a top 7 and not a top 10, or even a top 5? Simply because I’ve only seen 7 new films this past year that I’d consider good, or better in most cases, so I may as well include them all. 1. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story I’m sure this comes as […]
Films, Star WarsEven though they are one of my absolute favorites to watch live, this past Thursday was the first time I’ve seen Ward Thomas in just over 2 years, and that in itself is a tragedy, but one that was thankfully rectified. Back when I ran the 4000 Miles to Nashville blog I wrote about Ward […]
