Day 2 took me to the Musee Rodin having bought a joint ticket at the Musee D’Orsay for 21 Euros. The walk from The Montparnasse Tower took me (at a slow pace) around 25 minutes, I’ve decided this is a good area to stay to get to most of the sights you’d want to see … More Paris in Springtime March 2019 – Day 2
My daughter Alexandra packed a huge suitcase and got on a Eurostar train to Paris 6 years ago and she’s only been back to visit since then. She’s now so fluent in French she sometimes forgets the English words! I’ve visited a couple of times a year in those years, at a time that usually … More Paris in Springtime March 2019
It’s not often I’ve been left speechless after the end of a performance. But that was certainly the case with this latest production at the Queens Theatre. In Basildon is part two of the Spring series of plays/shows at this lovely local theatre. I’ve been to a lot of performances here and with the exception … More In Basildon
Another Facebook Ad, another play booked. This was a play I knew very little about, in spite of it being a famous story, but, I prefer not to know too much about what I’m going to see so I can form my own opinion. This was my first visit to the Theatre Royal Stratford, in … More EQUUS

The theatre was transformed into a Blackpool ballroom, with audience seats at the back of the stage forming part of the audience in the story. This is a tale … More Kiss Me Quickstep
An ad came up on Facebook for this show, Violet. I’d seen 2 other productions at the Charring Cross Theatre and loved them! It’s an intimate venue which means you’re never far from the action. The set up was different for this production, the stage was in the ’round’ on the floor in the middle … More Violet

This second West … More Company
I saw a live orchestra for the first time last year at The Royal Festival Hall, The Novello Orchestra playing along with Beauty and The Beast, I was completely enchanted.
