Today marked the first 2015 visit to the Globe with the Weasels. The play was The Merchant of Venice, which I’d never seen. I did, however, know the story so I didn’t need to read a synopsis beforehand. This always … Continue reading →

Today I went to the British Museum, with the Weasels, to see the Pompeii and Herculaneum exhibition that has had everyone talking for ages. It has been heralded as the best exhibition ever. I was looking forward to seeing something … Continue reading →

Pew back

Posted on November 28, 2012 by Gary

It was a race against the clock. Darren and Lorna had to get to Victoria station, via the Tube, by 11pm. At Highbury and Islington Tube station, they raced down the corridors, bustling the slower movers out of the way. … Continue reading →

Made glorious summer

Posted on September 9, 2012 by Gary

Today marked the end of the paralympics and the end of our summer of sport. We’d been dreading it but, when all was said and done, we managed to avoid the worst of the crowds and Tube warfare. It has … Continue reading →

Posted on August 12, 2012 by Gary

Today I travelled up to London, not to see the final day of the Olympics but to join in another bit of patriotic fervour; Henry V at the Globe. Mirinda joined me on the train as she was on her … Continue reading →
