Axe-throwing, yes you read it right, I went for the first time last weekend and had the best time. This will be no surprise for anyone who knows me well. One of my famous sayings is: “I’ll bury the hatchet but will leave the handle sticking out just in case”. In all seriousness, I was […]
Performance – Deckchairs and Ditties
It’s that time, when I will again be treading the boards and it has to be said, significantly heavier as last night’s rehearsal proved. Lots of folk are carrying lockdown weight, I’m no different after living on a consistent diet of everything, plus chocolate, a regular drop of something bubbly and little in the way […]
Waggy Walkers

Chance meetings to charitable deeds
I recently touched base again with someone I met many years ago travelling through my second mid-life crisis. It’s funny how people who just come into your life for a brief moment can have such a profound effect. To use his words ‘that cat you met on a Russian plane on the return flight from […]
Show week – Key for Two
Two weeks after the shiny new website launch, far from business as usual, there has been a marked increase in my activities. First I had to tackle my fear of deep water, only 6 foot but deep enough for me. I teetered near the edge as the instructor waited patiently with a flotation aid in […]
