We Will Rock You. Oh, My, Yes, We Will.
Friday was NO. 1 son’s 12th birthday. 12 is a little bit tricky – what you want to do with your mates is probably not what your parents will let you do. Add a chronic illness to the general age trickiness, and we were a le-e-etle bit stumped. But then genius struck. And a short phone call later we had five great tickets for We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre in the West End. No.1 is a HUGE rock fan, loves his...
Camp Bestival – just bloody brilliant.
Camp Bestival. Is over for another year. I have to review… but it was such a monumentally HUGE weekend, it would be difficult to be concise. I couldn’t tell you about everything, it’s just not possible, Camp Bestival is too huge an experience.

My very first ever ‘Musical’ experience. I was...
Futuroscope Review – Just. Don’t. Miss. It.
Futuroscope – what to tell you? First off, it’s in the Vienne – kind of smack in the middle of France, close to Poitiers. It’s been there for 23 years – and yet no one has heard of it in the UK. Secondly, it’s the brain child of Luc Besson, one of my favourite directors and a Man of Genius. Thirdly…Well. How to actually tell you about Futuroscope? “WOW!” Just about sums it up. Or...
Larmer Tree Festival – Day 3
Here’s the latest from Emma: Toots (Toots and the Maytals) were LEGEND last night! Families packed into the crowd, dancing together. People at the front were welcomed onto the stage by the man himself during the 15min encore – never seen that before. Caught some comedy in the packed marquee before bed too. We all loved our meals which cater for every taste – great pizza cafe where you can sit down in comfort eating...
