Taking on the Seven Sisters hike

Seeing the beautiful, rolling white cliffs, watching the incredibly calm, blue waters, and hopefully dodging the masses that make their way from London every weekend. The clips of the jam-packed trains in the torrid summers definitely put me off, so my friend and I planned for the first weekend in October, as it’s “not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket,” (Miss Congeniality). Following online blog advice, we planned to use the route from Seaford to Eastbourne as you see the vi...

Setting my October intentions and looking back at September

It’s been an awkward month for achieving goals, I helped out with childcare for my sister and supported a friend who lost a loved one back in my hometown for about 10 days. As my nephews almost full-time childcare for 10 days, the bath, book and bed routine took precedent and I was so wiped out, I’d collapse with Big Brother to keep me company.Key: Complete In Progress IncompleteI sadly did not outline my book, yet again.I got to 500 but will get there one day.Botswana & Namibia photo bookPuttin...

CSI: Crime Scene Idiots Review – Rosemary Branch Theatre

Dana Mite and Bill Power must use their detective prowess to find the park killer. A fun, light-hearted comedy which combines clown comedy, mime and improvisation to bring laughter to a dark subject. Throughout the play, the two clowns mishandled the important evidence and used interesting techniques during interviews to find the suspect. Expect climbing over audience members, silly spoofs and intense interrogations over the onion wielding killer in this 45 minute satirical delight.

Review of Inklings London’s writing club

Being a freelance writer with a 9-5 (R.I.P sweet Dolly), when the clock hits 5 it can be difficult to get my head out of work and into what actually brings me joy - my freelancing. From reviewing interesting plays and cultural events around London to think pieces and essays for my Substack, I needed to get away from my home office.After a small scroll on Eventbrite I came across Inklings London Writing Club - a dedicated 2 hour workspace to ‘lock in and write with likeminded people’. Now that is...

How I ended up doing community service for free Harry Styles tickets

The time: 9am The location: Teviot Rangers, Plumstead, Woolwich The objective: Litter picking, gardening and painting a grassroots football pavilion blue The reward: Free tickets to see Harry StylesI, like many other people, enjoy listening to the charming and eclectic pop star Harry Styles. From his founding days of One Direction - wearing bow ties and suspenders - to his angsty rock era that followed. From the highs of Golden to the depths of Fine Line, I would say I’m partial to the sounds of...

Wimble-done it

Although it can be thought of as ‘Wimbledon is British elitism at its worst’ The i Paper, I don’t believe you have to be high society to enjoy your day there. It must help, getting tickets quicker and gaining access into the fancy areas, however, here’s how Tammy and I, normal Northern 9-5ers, did it on the cheap. Firstly, I must preface that I was incredibly lucky to be gifted the Wimbledon experience. Not from a brand, not from a partnership but a very good friend who is serving (pardon the pu...

Setting my August intentions and looking back on July's

There are a lot of interesting goals I want to achieve in my future. They encompass different routes and destinations - mind, body and career. Mind would be happiness, enjoying my day-to-day. Body is keeping healthy and strong. Career is writing frequently and pursuing classes, education and networking opportunities. Sitting in a cosy living room, candles flickering, soft music on youtube with a notebook and pen in hand, my friends and I look back at the month and the goals we set and talk about...

5 Lesbians Eating A Quiche Review – The Tower Theatre

"Although there was absolutely no meat in the quiches, there was definitely beef between Lulie and Ginny." From the get-go, the ladies of the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein are poised, primped and ready for their annual quiche breakfast. As the ‘widows’ prepare for the winners’ announcement of the best quiche competition, the atomic bomb siren starts to blare, and lockdown of the community centre begins. To their ‘dismay’, the ladies are trapped with only 104 women and quiches to keep them company.
