Goodbye to the Old, Hello to the New. This last Year has been an interesting one to say the least, full of hopes and some disappointments, a spot of ill health, which took me by surprise, but all better now (we trust). Some new projects, one done and dusted…COUGAR… and on…
Here it is again…Christmas…I have a few fond memories, don’t we all? Apart from the obvious ones like watching my grandchildren opening their Christmas presents and many family dinners over the years, especially the excitement of finding a sixpence in my Christmas pudding as a child…do we still do that any more in England? Now…
“Old age is not for sissies” so Bette Davis is reported to have said. Well she is right, its not fun and I for one don’t like it. But its a fact and if you’re lucky enough to be alive at my age, you better just get on with it. Of course you can…
Feeling the usual pain after the break up of a relationship some years back, I felt I must do something to keep myself BUSY. I have always believed and found that exercise is an important tool, mental health wise. Thus the obvious answer was to take up a new hobby/ activity..so this time I chose golf. Sailing…
The other evening watched a rather disappointing film A BIGGER SPLASH, with the attractive actor Matthias Schoenaerts, elegant Tilda Swinton and a surprisingly overbearing Ralph Fiennes, who though really irritating to begin with, turned into the most interesting character. It was like a beautiful model shoot in a lovely location, many changes of dress by…
Haven’t had much time to visit the theatre while in London this time. But I did get to see wonderful Simon Russell Beale ( one of my favourite English actors) in the excellent play MR FOOTES OTHER LEG about Georgian London Show Biz and how Samuel Foote gained the Theatre Royal Haymarket, its Royal Charter, losing…
I love Paris, the City of Light, it is beautiful and I have treasured memories of numerous visits there. It is unbearably sad that such a joyful place, should suffer the terrible tragedy of two days ago. I am deeply sorry and I feel sure we are all thinking of the French people, our friends…
Hello friends, back here in London and having a good time. I am seriously indulging myself looking back, seeing old friends and remembering past escapades. Yesterday I went to a screening of THE DANISH GIRL, interesting film, but it did not really get to me.. I loved SUFFRAGETTE, seen the other evening. It really knocked the…
A couple of years ago two lovely ladies came and interviewed me in London. Jackie and Nicky Smith were starting a film festival in Wolverhampton. Zzub Film Festival is a fun, daring saucy event dedicated to pulp, trash, sci- fi, horror and all that sort of stuff. This year it will be entirely online. They…
So Halloween is here. A big night for Kids and Adults…everyone gets dressed up and play it seems, though I think it’s only the kids that ask for candy on the walk about around the neighbourhood. Hmmm…maybe not. We didn’t have Halloween in England, when I was growing up…couldn’t afford it and for a while…
